As an admin of a multi-site Drupal installation, I want to make module changes to all sites within that platform. On a regular basis, I want to disable/enable a set of modules to ensure consistency across all of the sites.
Using drush (any version 4.x, 5.x, or 6.x is acceptable), how can I perform this task without repeating the same command across each site?
Drush has the ability to interact with each site within a multi-site installation via the @sites argument. Anytime you are within the directory structure of your platform, the drush @sites command will target all sites rather than a single/no site. In this way, any drush task can be accomplished across all sites.
Some concrete examples:
Disable the dblog (core database logging) and devel module on each site
drush @sites dis dblog devel -y
Enable the speedy module on each site
drush @sites en speedy -y
Change the admin theme for all sites
drush @sites vset --yes admin_theme "ember"
Check to see if any sites in the platform have the cdn module enabled
drush @sites pml --no-core --type=module --status="enabled" -y | grep cdn
These (and many more commands) work with any version of drush >= 4.x
--root=/c/path/to/drupal - otherwise running commands with @sites would crap out after the Continue? prompt. Bypass by adding this to aliases.drushrc.php file: $aliases['sites']['root'] = '/c/path/to/drupal';

drush @sites pml --no-core --type=module --status="enabled" -y | grep cdn and to point out that the -y is of outmost importance! Also note that the command does not need to be launched at the sites level but also in any directory within.

And also to add with above answer,
if you have 3 sites under sites folder. sites/all , sites/new , sites/dev and now assume "some_module" is installed and enabled in all 3 sites.
if you want to disable "some_module" only in "new" and "dev" sites
Step 1 : cd DRUPAL_DIR/sites/new
Step 2 : drush dis some_module
Step 3 : repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for dev sites as well
