Auto client to client file copy on WiFi network.

[Lordy]

I organise the network around my house and have an update for some settings for the computers I want to distribute over the next week.

As I won’t be at home I was wondering if there would be a way to leave my computer on and have it auto copy my batch script (which will edit settings on reboot) to the computers that connect over the course of the week?

Thanks in advanced

Yep. I see no problem there if used in a full Windows environment across a small home network, even though you have left yourself a little tight on time to carry out your objectives.

Using a cross combination of task scheduler and a freeware program called "WinParrot" you should be able to do what you want if you hurry it up a bit !

Or.................You can do what I do when time is tight. - Ask a friend, neighbour, or family member to pop in and show them which buttons to press, - and when !

I also usually get them to feed the cat and goldfish for me as well. ( In that order or it can get very messy.)

Long term you may wish to set up something a little bit more permanent.

As you haven't said what operating systems you are using, or what is on the network........ Duh !

The answers to that can only be very general.

You could use stuff like: http://www.autoitscr...om/site/autoit/

Or: http://www.autohotkey.com/

You may even find something tailor-made for you requirements by searching around the following links:

At the present time though, I think I would be checking out the neighbours first because of your time constraints, and also it adds nicely to the flow of social integration.

Have a nice break away from home.

Thanks for your detailed response John!

Times not too taught as I don't leave until Tuesday so I may look at the more permanent options you've mentioned.

All the computers are running windows vista/7 so would there not e the option of a VBS script or batch file to discover computers and copy the file on discovery?

Thanks again

Thanks for the reply.

Best of luck.

John.

EDIT:

If you have access to a computer whilst away from home you can set up quick VPN or Remote of your system by means of "Team Viewer." which can put you a little more in control.
