FixZen
FixZen wil reregsiter systems on your network with ZENworks by running a wmi process that executes zwsreg -unreg and then zwsreg on a remote system. Just type in the Host name or IP address. The tool is handy for fixing machines that have had their names changed and are not updated in Zenworks.
The script is bundled into an exe but the source contents looks as such:

How about making this work on a group of PC's
Submitted by DarrellEddy on 29 February 2008 - 5:02pm.
Is there a way to make this work for a group of PC's like a range of IP addresses?
