How do I use the net send command on my server 2003 standard edition?
I have server 2003 with AD plus 100 sessions of clients with different Windows operating systems though some have windows vista and others have windows 7. I want to send for them an info message for administration use.
I am trying to use the below command:
NET send /USERS xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx but unfortunately it is giving me the following error.
"an error has occurred while trying to send ....."
thanks in advance

Hi nabilhamoud,
Use the command as follows:
NET SEND * (Your Message)
Do not include the brackets...
This will send a message to all users. Also make sure that the Messenger Service is running on your server and the client machines.

Net send is not supported in Vista or Windows 7.
stinkyPete is completely wrong, I'm on Windows 7 now and can send/receive net send commands.
