I had a request to write a bat file that would copy a host file a Administrator had created, across the network to the device he wanted it on.
Below is the bat file. You would create the host file in the same directory as this bat resides, and then type in the Hostname or IP Address of the destination device.
I tested this on Windows XP.

You would need domain admin rights.
