Due to vista not having netsend anymore I tried using the msg.exe command. So far I have got it to work just on my local computer. But sending it to other vista computers It gives me an error: Error 5 getting session names I am computer Atlantis Destination: computer designated as "Challenger" Both running Vista Business SP1 msg /server:atlantis admin "Test Message" (local to local pc works) msg /server:challenger admin "Test Message" ---> Response: "Error 5 Getting Session Names" We are in the same work group, we are not part of a domain Any help would be appreciated. From reading it seems to be a policy edit that needs to be changed, but I do not know what to change, so any detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated... Alternative i tried: Also i downloaded netsend by czero.com and I can only send the message to XP computers. I cannot send a message to even myself.

Both Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 with terminal service correctly configured can receive the message sent by Msg.exe from Windows Vista-based PC. Hope it helps!

The command I'm using is: msg * /server:192.168.1.73 Hello I've also tried using the computer name (i.e John-PC) instead of the IP. but immediately after I get the message "Error 5 getting session names". I am using CMD in administrator and have also changed the registry AllowRemoteRPC value to 1.

I'm just getting the error when trying to send to another computer other than mine in the network. I have tried researching and the only fixes I could find was editing the registry and downloading an exe file from computerfixerpeople.com but I don't want to download anything that's unnecessary or that could be a virus because I'm not familiar with that website. How can I fix this?

I also tried 'msg 127.0.0.1 test' as well but that gave the same error above. I have tried pinging the first IP and that worked fine.
