Ping utility

[coposg]

Hi all,

I was hoping someone could help me, I am searching for a ping utility, of which I have found plenty that seem compotent, but one of the main features I am looking for is one that will automatically start with saved settings whenever the machine it is installed on is rebooted. This solution is for a remote site with no computer knowledge, and while I will be able to check the results, I need to know the program will kick in as it was last left when the machine is restarted.

Thanks in advance
Steven

You might want to add a script Bootlogging.cmd at the All Users Startup group of the remote machines.
Assuming that 10.3.2.1 and 10.3.2.2 are machines which are always availabe e.g. Core Switch/Access Router.

- - 8< - - Bootlogging.cmd - - >8 - -

Echo -- Boot -- >>c:\bootlog.txt
Echo %computername% >>c:\bootlog.txt
date /t >>c:\bootlog.txt
time /t >>c:\bootlog.txt
ipconfig /all >>c:\bootlog.txt

ping 10.3.2.1 -n 50 -l 500
ping 10.3.2.2 -n 50 -l 500

copy c:\startlog.txt \\YourServer\Yourshare\%computername%_bootlog.txt

- - 8< - - Bootlogging.cmd - - >8 - -

It is up to you to determine a better path to log the info.
I used the append ">>" so you have a history.

This is just a thought. Perhaps the other forum readers can add other usefull tips.

Did you notice my typo?

copy c:\startlog.txt \\YourServer\Yourshare\%computername%_bootlog.txt
must be changed to
copy c:\bootlog.txt \\YourServer\Yourshare\%computername%_bootlog.txt
