need to push(deploy) few batch files to the machines on a network. All nodes are running Windows. The batch files contain some commands to initialize an env on each node.

    1. Create list of computers in a file (not exactly necessary, but usually the easiest), named computer.list (or whatever):

      wsn101
wsn102
wsn103

    2. Run batch file:

      for %%i in (computer.list) do copy file_to_push.ext \\%%i\c$
for %%i in (computer.list) do psexec \\%%i C:\file_to_push.ext

      (Fixed this part, cp isn't right, should be copy)
      Link to download psexec if you don't have it already.

      Same thing in PS:

      foreach ($wsn in Get-Content Computer.List)
{
    cp file_to_push.ext \\$wsn\c$
    psexec \\$wsn C:\file_to_push.ext
}
