This is a *hidden* feature of the script as there really is no sensible way I could come up with of advertising its existence through the UI.

The system does a good job running through an Active Directory environment but sometimes a domain is not what you intend to scan.  In these cases one of your options could be to scan a specific list of host names or IP addresses.

The method I've built in to do this is sourcing from a simple text file.  In the case of this script if you create a file named **targets.txt** and place it in the same folder as the script itself much of the input on the *Execute* tab is ignored when you click the run button.  In this case the input on the *Options* tab is still relevant however the script will not do a local workstation scan or a domain scan; the script in the processing screen's title bar will display *Scanning systems found in the file targets.txt* and will parse names from this file and scan them.

There are two ways to delimit file names in the text, you can use one or the other, or both.

* Carriage Returns/Line Feed
* Commas

A common technique used is to generate a list of IP addresses in Excel and save that to a text file named *targets.txt* and then to run against the list.  This feature is handy when used in conjunction with adding multiple credentials.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Ryan Kellerman</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:21:39 -0000</pubDate><guid>https://sourceforge.net606e83d38d17cac7ab029c51a8a82e6512a6162e</guid></item></channel></rss>
