how to send message to user connected to file server?

[Guest biff]

Hi. I have a file server that users connect to. If I open the computer

management tool, I can see who is connected to the server via shared

folders->sessions. How can I send a broadcast message to the users that are

connected to the server? Say for instance, I need to reboot the server and

need to send out a message to those connected or even do a countdown; how can

I do that?

The command "net send" will do it, provided that the messenger

service is running on the workstations.

Hello Pegasus (MVP),

 

But do not forget, even if files are open, that does not mean the user get's

the info. Maybe he is out for coffee, meeting etc.

 

Best regards

"Net send" will generate a pop-up message that stays on the

screen until the user closes it. It does not depend on any

open files, coffee cups or user meetings.

Hello Pegasus (MVP),

 

I just want to mention that if he makes a countdown for example, it is not

safe that the user saves his work and log off. That was all.

 

Best regards
