I want to be able to scan an entire network domain via their C$ (ie: \\machinename\c$\) for certain file types.
Are there any free ways of doing this ?

I found LAN Search Pro which is basically what I want but it dosent handle C$ shares....

TIA :)

That would require the users to actually do as theyre told and log out and back in so the GP would take affect :)

And Windows share is a bit flakey on this particular server... needs a refresh.

Vista UAC will prevent access to admin shares by default too, if you have any users with Vista.

Why leave it up to the users? psexec takes care of that!  or if scripting isnt your thing you can use something like this.
