Using a filtered DSQUERY command, I have scripted GetComputer.bat to return the NetBIOS computer names in your domain whose operating system matches a specified string.

The syntax for using GetComputer.bat is:

GetComputer \[OperatingSystem1 OperatingSystem2 ... OperatingSystemN\]

where OperatingSystemi is any string that matches all or a portion of the operating system name. If NOT specified, all operating systems are returned. Examples of valid OperatingSystemi entries are:

"Windows Server 2003" - to return only those computers running Windows Server 2003.
"Windows XP Pro"      - to return only those computers running Windows XP Professional.
Server                - to return all computers running any Windows Server.
Windows               - to return all Windows computers.
XP                    - to return all Windows XP-based computers.

The output is displayed on the console, but you can pipe it to a file using:

GetComputer OperatingSystemi>FileName

You can perform subsequent processing on the computer names returned using:

for /f %%c in ('GetComputer OperatingSystem1 OperatingSystem2') do (
 @echo %%c
)

where @echo represents any command.

GetComputer.bat contains:

@echo off
setlocal
If \{%1\}
\{\} set os=*&goto loop1 
:loop
if \{%1\}
\{\} endlocal&exit /b 0
set os=%1
set os=*%os:"=%*
shift
:loop1
set query="(&(objectClass=Computer)(operatingSystem=%os%))" -attr name -limit 0
for /f "Skip=1 Tokens=*" %%c in ('dsquery * domainroot -filter %query%') do (
 @echo %%c
)
goto :loop
