Hi,

If you are willing to spend some money Microsoft SMS will do it.

Sounds like you need to use Perl, which would be suited

All,

I'm looking to find a tool or the best way to accomplish the following:

Scan WindowsNT machines on the local network, authenticate with a known
admin password, and search
for specific files on the local hard drive, log success, failures and
file
information. In this
first pass I am looking for .jpg and .mpg type files (we have an
internal
porn issue) but later I
envision using this tool to search for other specific files or file
types,
evidence of trojan
files etc...

Ideally this tool would be able to handle either 1 IP address or a range
of
addresses and work in
an automated fashion. Optionally to be able to dictionary attack those
machines that don't have
the default admin password would be helpful as well.

Anyone know of such a tool or developed a custom script for this type of
"audit"?

Thanks.
