How to broadcast a command on Windows
- by Xiao Jia
I am going to frequently deploy different versions of a program on a cluster of Windows machines (mostly Windows XP), so I am willing to use a command-line broadcasting tool (either built-in or 3rd-party) to (1) download a file from some URL, and (2) execute the same command, on all the machines.
I googled for a very long time but got nothing related to my goal. (Only pages about broadcasting a message, broadcasting ping, or programmatically broadcast via TCP/IP, etc.)
Are there any tool for this purpose? Or is it possible to do it pragmatically (without installing extra client programs on those machines)?
