If you put the names of the 1200 clients in a file (one name per line)
you can call the script below with something like this:

 for client in 'cat client-names'
 do
        nsr_get_client_version_from_client $client >> outputfile
 done

Hi Tim,
I have over 1200 clients. If I have run this from each client that is a
painful one. Can I run this from any Backup Server.
