On Windows 2003 AD servers how can you broadcast messages to all workstaions?
 
If you are running NetBIOS and have the Messenger service running you can use the command line tool 'NET' to broadcast messages:

NET SEND * Hello

The chances are though due to all the Internet abuse you may have disabled the Messenger service and/or disabled NetBIOS in which case it won't work.
