Netsend under Windows7 ?

[barolo]

Hi,

I want to use the netsend command to send a message from my machine to another in a local network.

I used Netsend before but it disapeared under Windows7.

I know that netsend is no longer valid in Windows 7, so what can I use to communicate with an alternative netsend ?

Thanks

There is nothing you can use that is built into Windows to replace netsend. You will have to use an Instant Messenger.

If you have Windows 7 Business, Pro, or Ultimate then you can use the msg command from the command prompt.

See this for more info (and some alternatives it looks like if you don't have one of the editions listed above):

Hello =),

Thanks for your replies

I'm looking for a soft which can send message popup from my workstation (Seven) to other workstations (XP and Seven).

I tried msg.exe in this way, but it doesn't work : msg.exe <name> /server:<login server>

If I put my station for the server it works no problem ... Fortunately =p

But if I put my colleague's station or his login server, msg.exe displays :<user> does not exist or is offline.

If someone knows a easier substitute I take it =)

Thanks in advance for your help =)

There's local network alternatives like Softros Lan Messenger, pretty much Instant Messenger but on a LAN.
