I'm new to the windows server environment. I need to send a network message to all users connected to the network.
How do I do this?

Hi there OneMacCoder,
You may look at the NET SEND command in windows help.
You will need to enable the messenger service on XP clients.
Usage:
NET SEND 192.168.0.xxx "Here is the message."
HTH.
Peter.

Thanks a lot for your response. Is there a way to send a global message; for example, one that messages all connected clients.

net send * "Here is the message" will send it to all clients. However, the Net Send command relies on the messenger service and that service is frequently turned off. Check how your network is setup before relying on net send. And unfortunately, there is not other method of notification built into Windows. You CAN find third party products, but that's it.
