Hi Erward,
In the code I have below, note that I have gettype.exe and reg.exe in a
subdirectory called "utility." Either put them in the same directory, or
delete the references to it and just put them anywhere in your %path%
variable. (If you're not sure what that means, put them in your
\winnt\system32 directory.)
Paste that script into a file and name it checksp.bat. Then, if you'd like
to loop through all available computers, then make another .bat file called
something like checkall.bat and put contents as such in it:
for /f "skip=3" %%j in ('net view') do (call LogSP %j)
goto :EOF
LogSP:
set compname=%1
set compname=%compname:~2,99%
checksp %compname%>%compname%>log
That will loop through the computers in "net view" and log the sp result to
a files named <theNameOfEachComputer>.log.
You can do this different ways. I don't know if the one file per computer
method is what you'd want. That's what I often do.

p.s. I am a complete novice at .bat and I stumble through my own ways of
doing things and often later find that someone else does the same thing in a
much more efficient and logical way. So, you may want to check back for
others' criticisms!

I threw this together the other day. I'm sure someone else would have a
better solution, but it works for me.
Note that it uses gettype from the resource kit and reg.exe from Dave
Thomas. The download site no longer exists, it seems, but you could adapt
it for the reg.exe that comes with Windows XP.
