send message to workstations

[lonestar36]

Can anyone tell me how to send (broadcast) messages to all workstations on a win2k network? Is there a built in message broadcast?

Hi lonestar36,

I have an NT 4 network.

try net send * whatever your msg is

the * sends to all users

net send userid to send just to 1 user

Hope this works on 2000.

Tried it and got a message saying message support no longer supported.

Make sure the messenger service is running and that you're using netbios.

The command is &quot;net send /domain <message>&quot;

I'm not sure if this command works with or without an AD structure, but its worth a shot. Good luck!
