Hi,
Sorry for neglecting the basics of posting a question..!! Anyways, I will try and explain my problem better this time.

1. I have 100 Windows XP clients and we usually test OSes like Windows Server, Netware and Linux.
2. When we have to test Netware, we usually logon to one client and access other clients using remote desktop protocol and then open an in-house developed application that stresses the server over network. This piece of software uses TCP to communicate with the server. All we need to do now is from each client logon to Netware NDS using Netware client for windows and then use the above mentioned software to stress the server.
3. When I said that I want to send the same keyboard and Mouse inputs to all the clients, I presumed that all the clients have same resolution and same set of applications installed so that there is no mismatch in the menu options that I would actually see.
4. There is, absolutely, no contrary between what I wanted to achieve and what I quoted as an example. All I meant was, I expect notepad application to be opened on all my clients if I open notepad application (either by clicking on start -> accessories -> etc., or typing notepad.exe at the command prompt) at the controller machine. This eventually means that my controller is able to send the kbd/mouse inputs to all the clients.

I'm assuming a lot here.

I hope that I have answered most of your questions.

I would think it would be a lot easier to write a script that uses Win32::API, Win32::GuiTest or some module like that, install it on a network filesystem that all the clients can read, and start the script on each client (maybe using some kind of network activation, so you can control them from one machine). Possibly, you can use a much more elegant/efficient solution, but you don't really give us a lot of clues how.

Yes. I want a better solution than using Win32::GuiTest. I want my solution to be more generic between operating systems. I expect the same solution with some modifications to work with any OS. I know it is pretty much do-able. I started my work on this. I will keep you guys updated.
Thanks,
ravi
