Net Send

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

Can someone answer a question for me. Im not infront of a Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 box. Can someone tell me if Net Send has been removed from Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 please?

 

Thanks

it was stripped from vista as well.

 

XP/2k3 were the last editions to have net send i think

[sted]

equivalent command is now msg

 

Send a message to a user.

 

MSG {username | sessionname | sessionid | @filename | *}

[/sERVER:servername] [/TIME:seconds] [/V] [/W] [message]

 

username Identifies the specified username.

sessionname The name of the session.

sessionid The ID of the session.

@filename Identifies a file containing a list of usernames,

sessionnames, and sessionids to send the message to.

* Send message to all sessions on specified server.

/SERVER:servername server to contact (default is current).

/TIME:seconds Time delay to wait for receiver to acknowledge msg.

/V Display information about actions being performed.

/W Wait for response from user, useful with /V.

message Message to send. If none specified, prompts for it

or reads from stdin.

 

so

msg /server:server1 console "oi wake up you useless user"

looks like

If one has to specify /SERVER:servername does that mean i can no longer

send a message to all computers using:

net send * "my message to everyone" ?
