I want to send a message to a computer on my college LAN. I know the IP address of the computer to which message is to be sent. Could anyone tell me the the command to do so. I am unable to clarify the use of netsend command
Hi ankit, You can use use msg.exe (a new command line tool that more or less replaces the infamous "net send"). C: Windows system32>msg /? Send a message to a user. MSG {username | sessionname | sessionid | @filename | *} [/SERVER:servername] [/TIME:seconds] [/V] [/W] [message] username Identifies the specified username. sessionname The name of the session. sessionid The ID of the session. @filename Identifies a file containing a list of usernames,sessionnames, and sessionids to send the message to. * Send message to all sessions on specified server. /SERVER:servername server to contact (default is current). /TIME:seconds Time delay to wait for receiver to acknowledge msg. /V Display information about actions being performed. /W Wait for response from user, useful with /V. message Message to send. If none specified, prompts for it or reads from stdin. Running a command like this one: C: msg /server:Ankit philips "Please contact immediately!" Will result in a message being sent to the Ankit computer, to philips session. the MSG.EXE command does NOT require the Messenger service to be running on the target computer.
