Hello
I am still learning how to work around in NT 4.0
I was wondering How can I send a message to all the users that are currently connected to that machine.

I know in dos you can use net send but that is to one machine I would like to be able to send to all currently connected users.

Thanks ahead of time for you help...

if you are ina a domain you can send "net send /domain". and all machines in the domain will receive the message.

try "net send /?"

You can also use the command net send * and this will send out to all computers attached.

Hope this helps... mot98..

Just to add to my previous post. The net send command will only work on NT platforms. It needs the messenger service running in order to work.

For win9X clients you will have to use WinPopUp or some other messenger software.

Yes machines with Win9X, Me, nedd to have running WinPopUp, machines with Windows NT, 2000, Xp, just need to have the messenger service running.
