Can you tell me how to send administrative message (for example that the server will be rebooted) to all users in the network in win2k, "not a console message to only 1 user or selected users using computer managemant", say that I have a 1000 user, I can't use that way and type the names of all machines, any help?

To send messages to all users who have sessions with a server use ?NET SEND /USERS your message?

eg. - NET SEND /USERS print server will be rebooted in 5 mins. please logout

This message will only be displayed on systems that run the Messengerservice.

Other switches are:

/DOMAIN ? used to send a message to all domain users that the sending machine is in (your domain)
/DOMAIN:domainname - used to send a message to all users in another domain

Hope this helps

Open computer management. Click "Action" then "All tasks" then "send console message". Fill in the message u want and then add the name of pcs (netbios name) you would like to send this message to.

Best Regards.
