The net send command is pretty easy to use.


Even easier is one of the several little apps that run in a window to do the
same thing. I use a freeware one called NetHail.


. except that it relies on
the messenger service being ON, and XP SP2 turns it OFF by default. So,
you may well find that you phrase the command perfectly but that
it has no effect.

You could turn the messenger service back on... but that will
probably also cause your users to start receiving the annoying spam


No, the spam popups aren't caused by Messenger Service being on; they are
caused by running without a firewall. Keep a firewall running along with
Messenger Service and you should have no such problems.
