I am not sure whether any software exists which can broadcast messages to all the domain computers. However, that being said, you can deploy some custom scripts through group policies which can do that job. Another alternative would be, if you have Enterprise applications like Office Communication Server or Lotus Same Time, you can broadcast message to all users who are online ! Also, below linked discussions might give you some more insight on the topic mentioned in your post. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverManagement/thread/bb62485c-a549-4e87-83eb-a17d1dfbbdd2 http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winservergen/thread/6d8e11f8-d961-4942-bf29-415aa34b17aeDon't be a prick !

Hi, Try Below On the machine that you cannot message to: Use regedit to navigate to: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server Then change the following value: Name : AllowRemoteRPC Type : REG_DWORD Value : 1 Reboot. Thanks, Swapnil Prajapati

I would suggest netsend but thats for xp. I done a quick google and thought this winsentmessenger is kind of what you are asking for? Looks like it is freeware but I haven't tried it so can't say if it's good or not. Let me know. www.winsentmessenger.com
