Just my $.02, but I would recommend against setting the password within the script. You can always pass it as an argument. Two reasons: 1)Someone may read the source 2)If you change the password on the domain and forget to change your script, you can lock out the account. Also, I would recomme

You can so this from a batch file just as easily as from perl. If you are copying files from a share and all the machines are on the same domain, you don't need to log it. If the machine's name is frank and the share is bob, they the syntax is: xcopy *.* \\frank\bob. If the machines are not on

For the WINS/DNS part, have a look at the netsh command that comes with win2k. For Novell client? That may be a tough one. I haven't been involved with Novell for a long time, but if memory serves, you had to run a Novell supplied utility to completely remove the Netware client from a windows
