Mass Pinging of worksatations

Hi all,

I have a list of 600 or so workstations from AD. I need to figure out which ones are actually in use. One way would be to just simply pinging them. Is there anyway to run a command or program that will ping them all, instead of me doing manually?

Thanks!

So the problem is I am just a consultant, and have to make a quick, rough estimate of what is actually being used. It does not have to be 100% perfect, but has to be quick, and show a general picture of what is currently in use.

Hm, perhaps something like lansurveyor express:

Nicely visualizes it.
