It would be helpful if you stated the operating system of your
machine. On a WinXP you could run this batch file:

@echo off
for /F %%a in (c:\PCs.txt) do (
taskkill /s %%a /im SomeProcess.exe
del "\\%%a\c$\Program Files\App\SomeProcess.exe"
)

The file c:\PCs.txt contains a list of your PCs' NetBIOS
names. The batch file will take a long time to run - let
it run overnight.

this batch file has to modified only for the path or something else has top
be done as it is not wrkg

"as it is not wrkg" means nothing to me. Please take
the time and show your own version of the batch
file, then quote the exact and unabbreviated error
message(s) and state your operating system. Try to
spend as much time on your replies as I spend
on mine!
