Pick a box or a desktop as home. Create ssh keys on the home box. Push the public ssh keys to 127 other boxes (this is the first and last bit of dog work)
How to:
ssh-keygen: password-less SSH login

(Note: your remote and local home directories all have to be at least 755 permissions, your ~/.ssh directory 600)

At this point you now a need a file with the names of all of your servers.
Then on the home box (you have some script you want to run everywhere) you do this:

Code:
while read sname
do
    scp -p -q /local/path/to/script  ${sname}:/remote/path/to/script   # park the script over there
    ssh ${sname} '/remote/path/to/script'                                       # run the script

done < list_of_servers.txt > my_report_from_127_servers.dat

Don't for get to chmod 755 your local script file BEFORE you run the above.

Create different versions of list_of_servers.txt to handle special runs that hit only some boxes. You can run any script anywhere (assuming you have privilege everywhere).
