Guest sqlcoder@gmail.com Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Good day everyone, Is there a way with win2k3 AD to send messages (like popups) to a especific user or security group? or is there any third party product for this ??. already tryied net send but messenger server must be running on each station. Thanks in advance
Guest Lucas Williams Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 RE: Send message to users/groups You can always try the old way with the command line "net send computername message" but I believe that it has been disabled since windows 2000. I know you can send console messages to Terminal Clients from Terminal Services Manager. As far as third party software, I don't know any. Hopefully this has helped you at least a little.

Is this a problem? Check Google for something that might meet your requirements. If you cannot find anything then it would be fairly straightforward to write a batch file send.bat that would be invoked with one of the following commands: send user=charlie send group=accounting When using the second command, the batch file would work out the members of the Accounting group, then send a message to each of them.
Guest FireBird Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 RE: Send message to users/groups yeah, i want to know the exact same thing. For someone with administrative rights, it would be nice to notify users with pop-up messages. Very handy while remote desktoping into their machine and notifying them beforehand rather than logging them off straight away.
