    Hi,

    Type following command

    Msg * /server:pc-name AnyMessage

    If you received an error message “Error 5 getting message names” then fix it with following steps:

    If you have any problems or receive an "access denied" error or "Error 5 getting session names" error while you trying to use msg.exe, try the following steps to fix the problem with msg command:

    1. Open the Registry Editor ( regedit.exe ).

    2. In the left panel, locate and then click on the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server

    3. In the right panel, find the key AllowRemoteRPC and be sure the value of the key is 1. If the value is not 1, change it to 1.

    4. Close Registry Editor and restart your computer.

    Hi,


    To add, we can also use Net send in Windows XP machines.


    Net send

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490710.aspx


    In addition, the following two scripts might help:


    Send-NetMessage - Net Send / Msg.exe

    Send a Message to a Specified IP Address


    More information:


    Msg

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771903(v=ws.10).aspx


    Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    Yes syntax is correct

    MSG * /SERVER:ASHISH_NODE     [message]

    You can also send message like this

    msg User1 Let's meet at 4PM today

    msg  /server:<ServerName>

    Specifies the RD Session Host server whose session or user you want to receive the message. If unspecified, /server uses the server to which you are currently logged on

    Hi,

    If AllowRemoteRPC not exist then create it (before creation take your registry backup for safe side) on any machine where you want to send message. if you want to deploy on all the machines then apply same process through GPO.

    Try the command with the same syntax with the elevated permissons using the command prompt

    to use the elevated permissons right click the cmd.exe shortcut and click run as administrator.
