Hi guys hope you can help me with a perl script.

We are running multiple platforms - NT and XP.
I have a computer list in computers.txt
Each system has a local administrator account, let's say it is
<computername>\administrator, with password 'password'.

What I need to do is to:
1) Determine if the system is NT or XP
2) If it is NT, then connect by <computername>\administrator, with
password 'password', then write a line to an output file called
output.txt the status of the browser service. So the format of the
output.txt would be something like:
<computername>, operatingsystem, servicename, status
3) If it is XP, then connect by <domain1>\simon, with password 'simtest',
then write a line to an output file called output.txt with the same 4
columns as 2).
4) While the script is running, a status of 'connecting to <computername>
would be great.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Not a Perl solution, but if you have a copy of Microsoft's srvinfo.exe I
believe you can determine this information without the need to
authenticate.
