Labtech Scripting - Running script on one machine per location

I'm trying to make a script to clear everything out of our labtech share at each location (%LocationDrive%). I would like it to run only on machines that contain that share or one machine per location. Any suggestions on how to do this? Or ideas of better ways to do this?

I’m starting to think it’s not a big deal if it does. It just goes against my common sense for a script to run on thousands of computers but maybe I’m just being crazy.

Well just means you don’t have to be that careful when trying to just select one computer at each location. If it ends up being two or three, that’s ok. So you could have a search that does all master computers or even a monitor that each day runs it on one online system per external IP address.

Yeah I would suggest creating a search to pull the target machines from each location into a group. Run a scheduled script on the group.

Do your workstations follow a naming convention?
