I like the concept, I played with it and had good results in general. One thing to be aware of, is that this approach does not work in all environments. RPC has to be available for this to function.

So, if you are in a "hardened" environment for security where the port are not available, the service is shut off, or any number of things like that, the script will fail generating a simple error message.

So, while this is a great and simple solution, it has it limitations-only worked on a subset of the servers I deal with.
