Btw, I see now you were specifically asking for a list of Windows PCs, not
just Windows file shares - if indeed you need all Windows PCs, then yeah I
don't see a way beyond something like nmap - and, as John points out, that
may well not be appreciated by your network admins (though if you're the
admin, maybe you can give yourself a break).
Sorry for the confusion -R
