I would like to send a mesage to a PC on our network (something like Net
Send). I need to send to the PC, not the user. How can I dop this?

Thanks

Here is an example:

net send bl-pc "test"

I get an error of :
An error occurred while sending a message to bl-pc.

The message alias could not be found on the network.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2273.

I also tried with the IP, but same error. Adding the domain before the PC
( domain\bl-pc ) same result. What am I doing wrong?

net send bl-pc "test"
Do NOT include the " and "
The command looks like this:
net send bl-pc test

Ok, I found the issue. I forgot, we have disabled the Messenger service
with a policy. Is there another way to send a message to a Pc with the
Messenger service turned off?

Thanks

Sure, use sneakernet or some Instant Message program.

I'm missing half of this thread, so forgive me if this has been said.

Just net send the computer name, IP address, or other messenger-registered
names for that computer.
