How to Set the PATH in multiple remote computers

Path is an environment variable used in Windows operating systems. It contains a semicolon-delimited list of directories in which the command interpreter will search for executable files. For the computer to use any program it is necessary that the location of the executable files (of the program) are available in the PATH variable. It is denoted as %PATH% when used in scripts. To see what is stored in the PATH variable in your computer, open a command prompt and enter ECHO %PATH%. You can also view it from the Microsoft Windows System properties-> Advanced-> Environment Variables window. System administrators add new entries to this variable as they install newer applications. But manually doing it across thousands of desktops and servers is time consuming and error prone.
