Hello fellow TechNet users.

I have been wondering how other companies are able to send a popup notification to all their logged in users notifying maintainance or whatever they want to send.

I've tried the msg command It only displayed the message on the server not the clients.

So what I want to do is:

Send a message to all clients that is logged in on their computers without having to specify each individual computer or account.

Is this possible?

EDIT: Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition

Windows XP was the last version of Windows to include the net send command. The msg command functions similarly to the net send command.
 
Please note that the MSG command is intended to be used as a messaging system to terminal server users, to use it between two standard Windows machines, you might need to change the AllowRemoteRPC (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server) registry value data from 0 to 1 on the computer receiving the message.
 
For the systax of this command, please refer to this article:
