If anyone cares, I answered my own question. Using a CSV of server names and Excel to expedite creating a batch file, the command I used was a follows:
PSEXEC \\<servername> -u <domain\ID> -p <password> w32tm /tz >> I:\<servername> That's really down and dirty but I scanned 100 systems in about 3 minutes after 15 mins of making the .CMD file. While this creates a lot of files (one for each server), you can combine them into one file however you want (just dumping to one file off that bat gives you no server name to match to scan result). Since I had only a few dozen systems, I simply enabled the taskbar option "group similar icons", opened 50 at a whack, and when I came across a non-conformist system I did "Save As" and dumped the file into another folder which, when done, contains all the exceptions. The beauty is it bypasses all the DST patch checking and tells you the *actual* server settings. I'm sure a little tweaking and you can get a single .CSV (echo the server name into the file before running the w32tm check, add in a <CR> for readability) and save even more time, but I digress... Dave PS If you don't test the credentials first and the password is incorrect, you'll lock out the account in the batch file... ________________________________ From: David Lum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 03, 2008 4:04 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Scan for DST Anyone know how to scan a network for systems not handling the DST correctly? Something like w32tm /tz against a list of systems? Since MS has released numerous DST patches (Febraury '07 was 931836, Aug was 933360, Dec was 942763) a scan for 931836 or later should also work. I'm sure 98% of my systems are compliant, but I'll get hammered for those other 2% if I don't make a concerted effort here..
