Basically I have this file below. I want to check various pc's across a corporate network by pinging the pc name not the IP. I can put the pc name in the hosts.txt file and it works ok however, I want to also put a short description after the pc name that shows up in the results file. So basically I want to ping "PCname computer at station 10" and if I get no response I want that to show up in the results file not just the name.

Can anyone help?

DEL PINGresults.txt

SET MachineList=HOSTS.txt

SET ResultsFile=PINGresults.txt

CLS

ECHO.

IF NOT EXIST "%MachineList%" (

ECHO Cannot locate Machine List: %MachineList%

PAUSE>NUL

GOTO :EOF

)

FOR /f "tokens=*" %%M in (%MachineList%) do CALL :CHECK "%%M"
PINGresults.txt

GOTO :EOF

:CHECK

SET Machine=%~1

SET Machine=%Machine: =%

PING -n 1 %Machine%>NUL

Echo Processing %Machine%

IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 1 ECHO %Machine% did not respond at %Time%>>%ResultsFile%

EXIT /B

:EOF

you know there's software out there for this sort of thing

it sounds like your trying to do a network audit
i think SMS has some tools which can help you out assuming
your a network admin....

I'm not a network admin and although this is legit I don't want to deal with the IT people. Surely this script can me modified to do what I want to do.
