Help NET SEND is really scary to my users

[vfear]

I have a network with many many users. People will netsend the entire network saying thinks like reboot and people will actually do it. How do I stop net send?? They also dont have access to the cmd prompt so they write bat files in notepad or word. I cant block all bat files cause I need their log in script to work. Please someone help !!!!!!!!

use NTFS permissions to stop them using net send

C:\WINDOWS\system32\net.exe

I try to stop my net send by typing net stop. Then I try again with net send and I got a message? How do you really stop someone from sending message. Moreover, can they not start the services again?

stop the Messenger service and edit your domain's Group Policy to disallow access to your users.
