Good - so the issue is not with the Net-SNMP software.
It's with the Microsoft Windows scripting environment
that you're using.

If you're looking for information about Windows scripting,
then we are really not the right place to ask.
While there are some Windows people here, the historical
basis of the Net-SNMP project is very much Unix-biased.

As far as I know, the command
snmpwalk -v 2c -c dashisto 192.168.12.34 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.7 > C:\zzz.txt
should do that.

The command above should work from a command prompt, where the Windows "shell"
will interpret the output redirection appropriately.
[That's my interpretation, at least - but please bear in mind that
I am very much a
Unix/Linux man. I lay no claim to any particular expertise with using Windows]
I've no idea how you would get the same effect when using Windows scripting.
The best I can suggest is the web page I mentioned yesterday.

That's a somewhat vague description.
What do you mean by "how a switch is performing"?
Memory usage? Network traffic? Box temperature?
And even those are really just broad categories.
"Network traffic" could encompass things such as average throughput,
peak level, collision or error rates, etc, etc, etc
You need to start by thinking about *EXACTLY* what you are interested
in monitoring. Only then is it possible to suggest appropriate MIB objects.
