Hello, I'm trying to use the msg.exe command to send a message to a computer on my network. I have a computer name and the name of the individual thats currently logged on. i'm not sure of the proper syntax to list in order for this to work. I tried the following:
msg /server:arjjjjjjjj * tell me if you get this message

I received an error 5 so I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong.

usernames are located in the C: folder
computer name is arjjjjjjjj
 


Hi,

This is the MS Office forum. Your question has nothing to do with any MS Office application.

Perhaps a Windows forum would be more appropriate and would get you better responses.

Skip,

From the command line run command. Having dos window write msg.exe /?, you will get full help.
