Question

Would there be a way to search an entire domain for a specific file through the command prompt.

I am using dir/s Example.txt but of course that only searches one specific computer.

Answer 1

You could get a list of computer objects from the domain using an LDAP query in a VBScript, then iterate through the list of computers using a For Each and then execute the dir /s command on each of the computers in turn and read the output from the command and parse your results to see if you get a hit.

It wouldn’t be pretty but it’d work.

EDIT
It’d use the credentials of whatever was running the executable at the time. Using WinNT is ok, but if you want to do it properly, use the DirectoryServices (I know it’s C#, but you get the drift from there and can use this to convert) namespace.

Once you have your list of computers, you need to iterate through them and run your command/process against each computer.
