Solve : using the msg command? |

Answer» I'm wondering how, or if, it is possible to use the msg command to send a message to another computer. I'm wondering how, or if, it is possible to use the msg command to send a message to another computer. Basically you type msg username (which is the person you are typing to) then /SERVER:computername (which is the name of the PC you are sending it to then the message you want to send. I (when I used to do this) would use the net send command. An example would be C:\>msg coemah /SERVER:PC-one Testing this message INTERFACE thingy! The target PC would get a standard Windows box with something like "message from michaewlewis date time code" and then the text of your code (Testing this message interface thingy!) and an "OK" button to close the box. hmm... that's what I tried before and I get two errors each time I try: Error OPENING Terminal server otherComputer01 Error [5]:Access is denied. Is a password necessary? Is the msg command allowed in domains?If this is a school or office, messaging is often disabled by admins to avoid time wasting, distraction from work or study, or harrassment.

I'm pretty sure it's not turned off, but if it is, how would I turn it on? I'm trying to find a simple way to send alerts to specific users, just in case I'm not at my own computer with my other tools for messaging. BTW, I am the network admin. You do have send message access permission? Terminal Services Configuration (tscc.msc) Open up the Properties of the RDP-Tcp connection object, PERMISSIONS tab, Advanced, Edit the entry you are interested in changing. Ok, I don't have a terminal server. It's starting to sound like it's necessary.... is it? Is tscc.msc only on servers? I don't have it on my xp machine. |
