Windows 7 Can MSG do what NetSend did on XP?

In Windows 7, the MSG command is primarily designed for sending messages to individual users on the local network. However, to broadcast messages to all machines on the network, you can try the following workaround: 1. Workaround using MSG: - As the MSG command doesn't have a built-in broadcast option, you can automate the process using a batch script to send messages to multiple machines. - Create a batch script that reads a list of computer names from a file and then sends a message to each one using MSG. 2. Alternative Tools: - PsExec: PsExec is a command-line tool that allows you to run commands on remote machines, including sending messages. It's part of the PsTools suite provided by Microsoft Sysinternals. - You can use PsExec with a batch script to send messages to remote machines. It provides more flexibility for remote tasks. 3. Third-Party Solutions: - There are third-party software and network management tools available that offer broadcast messaging capabilities across a network. - These tools often provide a user-friendly interface for sending messages to multiple machines simultaneously. 4. PowerShell Script: - While you prefer not to use PowerShell directly, you can encapsulate the PowerShell script into a batch script for simpler execution. 5. Note: - Broadcasting messages to all machines in a network can be restricted by network policies, firewalls, or security settings, so ensure that network permissions allow for such messaging. - Script execution and message broadcasting may require administrative privileges on the machines for successful delivery. By utilizing these alternatives or creating batch scripts along with tools like PsExec, you can achieve a workaround to broadcast messages to multiple machines in a network without the need for individual PowerShell commands.
