Find all computers in the network where sound is not enabled and installed

I haven't done this per se but have a look at the windows scripting object model: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/En-US/library/a74hyyw0.aspx

You should be able to use this to find devices that are not installed.

Any help with a script...

@echo off
:: Get sound info on "switched on" computers found in the list c:\computers.txt
::
::
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
for /f %%c in ('type computers.txt') do (
  set t=
  (ping -n 1 -w 999 %%c|find /i "TTL" >nul)&&  call:_GETsound %%c
  (ping -n 1 -w 999 %%c|find /i "TTL" >nul) ||echo %%c:  switched off
)
goto :_END
:_GETsound
for /f "skip=1 delims=/" %%a in ('WMIC.EXE /Node:%1  Path Win32_SoundDevice   get Description^,Status') do  echo %1: %%a
goto :_EOF
:_END
:_EOF

Still the same message.

Sorry wrong message

I get this.

C:\>findsound.bat
No Instance(s) Available.
indiasophos:
Invalid Global Switch.
Invalid Global Switch.

try it on a xp computer

I checked with an Xp machine and ran from a xp machine too.

Same error. An even get as switched off even though the machines are pinging...

You can give me the output of this command
WMIC.EXE /?|find /i "sound"

I get this.

C:\>WMIC.EXE /?|find /i "sound"
SOUNDDEV                 - Sound Device management.

Add double quotes with machine name.
Like:
WMIC.EXE /Node:"%1" Path Win32_SoundDevice get Description^,Status
