I am trying to do the following: 1. Create a batch file that will ping hosts on the network. 2. If the host is up enumerate the NETBIOS name table using nbtstat. This has to be done using a regular batch file and not using vbs. I have tried many ways and they all fail to enumerate the host file that I have the ping results written to. Is there a way to have nbtstat read the ip address in a text file. Here are a few of my efforts using regular batch script code and also attempting to implement nmap into the rucus. 1st attempt creates the file but nbtstat just returns the usage information: @echo on cls echo "Step 1" for /f "tokens=*" %%C in (hosts.txt) do (ping -n 1 %%C >> PingResults.txt) echo "Step 2" for /f "tokens=*" %%R in (PingResults.txt) do (NBTSTAT -A) Attempt 2 using nmap in the batch file: cls echo "Step 1 NMAP Ping Scan" nmap -sP <iprange/mask >> NmapPing.txt rem IP masked for security purposes for /L %%R in (NmapPing.txt) do (nbtstat -A %%R) rem echo "NBTStat Enumeration" Third attempt just tried using this with a text file that has IP addresses also tried it with hostnames and the results return ports and 1 line of enumeration. I need the entire enumeration. I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance rem nmap -v--script nbstat.nse -iL CCBDomain.txt

Untested: for /f %%a in (hosts.txt) do for /f "tokens=3 delims=: " %%A in ('ping -n 1 %%a ^| find "bytes="') do nbtstat -A %%A
