Of course I tested the command with this results: First try: $RC = SendMessage("H0109401", "Test") Result (@serror): The message alias could not be found on the network. Second try: $RC = SendMessage("DH01094\H0109401", "Test") (where DH01094 is the name of the domain) Result (@serror): The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. And now the correct question: Can I use a domain name with SENDMESSAGE? Franz

fritschf fritschf Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-03-23 Posts: 11	Hi Shawn, here are the test results with net send: -------------------------------------------- C:\>net send dh01094\h0109401 "Test" The syntax of this command is: NET SEND {name \| * \| /DOMAIN[:name] \| /USERS} message C:\>net send h0109401 "Test" An error occurred while sending a message to H0109401. The message alias could not be found on the network. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2273. ------------------------------------------------- Seems that the problem is the same ...

Is the machine that you are sending from on the same subnet as the machine you are sending to? The problem is that there is a specific NetBIOS name for the messenger service. If you cannot resolve the messenger NetBIOS name you cannot send the message even if you can resolve the IP address.

Bryce Bryce KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-02-29 Posts: 3167 Loc: Houston TX	I have used "net send " a number of times to send messages to pc's connected over the internet. for example.... net send 27.85.33.184 stop port scanning me you little prick! but, the messenging service needs to be turned on on the remote pc, as well as the local pc. also, not behind any type of firewall.

Richie19Rich77 Richie19Rich77 Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2002-08-16 Posts: 624 Loc: London, England	I have just tested sending a message to a PC on a trusted domain and it works only if I send to the IP address of the workstation. On different VLans, and no WINS.

PS: As a little compensation I posted an article about how to deal with unicode files. Edited by fritschf (2005-03-15 10:29 AM)
