Windows 10: How to run a SFC /scannow command on all machines on a network?

I am having open tickets every day that are fixed by running a chkdsk and SFC /scannow. Windows 10 machines.


Remote Desktop errors, freeze-ups, etc.


I will be deploying a new windows image shortly to the masses, but in the meantime:


Is there an easy way without an additional software purchase to run a SFC /scannow on all the machines on the network in the background?


I am aware of psexec, and it works, but it requires a list of the forty computers to be made manually thru a bat file?. And I believe it runs one at a time? Is there an easier or better way than this?




Thanks.


ps: I am a newbie.

sfc /scannow error repair

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We appreciate the efforts you have taken in trying to resolve this issue. I have analyzed the error logs that you have shared and I would suggest you follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Type Command Prompt in the
   search bar on the Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on the Command Prompt icon and select
   Run as administrator.
   
3. Now, paste the following command and hit Enter:
   DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
   
4. Once the DISM command is executed, we would suggest you to run sfc /scannow again.
   

If the integrity violations are not repaired after running sfc scan, the best option will be performing a repair installation. A repair installation will repair all the corrupted files.



Refer the steps mentioned below:



Download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool (MCT) and use it to perform a repair installation
of Windows 10. We have a video that can show you how if you aren’t sure



Let us know the results.

sfc /scannow errors


Important thing to remember is that the SFC / SCANNOW cannot always fix all errors at once. It is quite often required to run SFC /SCANNOW several times.

I have often had a situation that only a third, fourth or fifth run has finally reported "No more errors".

This is how it should be done:

• SFC / SCANNOW
• If SFC reports not all errors were fixed, reboot and run it again
• SFC / SCANNOW
• If SFC again reports not all errors were fixed, reboot and run it again
• And so on
