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. June 25th, 2008 9:53pm Hello, Msg.exe can only send message to a terminal server getting session names role, based on my test. 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! Regards, Lionel Free Windows Admin Tool Kit Click here and download it now July 1st, 2008 12:34pm So if this only works as a terminal service role then what is the alternative to netsend because the program from cezeo as the netsend replacement doesn't seem to work either. July 2nd, 2008 8:50pm Hello, Based on some discussions about this topic, some community members provide the following tool as the replacement of net send that is not included in Windows Vista: http://www.cezeo.com/products/netsend/ Its said to support Windows Vista.

Vista: Net Send is Gone; Use msg console Instead. Posted on May 23, 2007 by Chrissy LeMaire — 57 Comments ↓ Update: If you receive "access denied" when attempting to use msg, do the following: Terminal Services Configuration (tscc.msc) -> Open up the properties of the RDP-TCP connection object -> Permissions tab -> Advanced -> Edit the entry you are interested in changing. Thanks to TP at winserverkb.com for that info. Update 2:Check out Adriano's comment below, it's pretty thorough. Thanks Adriano! Today, I needed to net send a message to myself, but soon realized that it disappeared and is no longer supported in Vista. Then I found a a post on MSDN tipped me off to use msg instead. Msg is usually used for sending messages to terminal services users but, remembering that the console session has an ID of 1, I decided to try sending a message to the console user. As it turns out, msg 1 test worked both locally and remotely in Vista. Then, I tried running the command on an XP machine, only to realize that XP's terminal services console ID was 0 and not 1. In order to msg the console in XP, I had to run msg 0 test. So what is session 0 in Vista? Well, according to the query session command, "services" use the ID of 0 in terminal services. Whoops. It appears that the best way for this to work across XP and Vista machines would be to use "msg console test" or "msg * test" or "msg username test". If you'd like to message remote machines, you can do so by pointing to a file that contains the names of multiple machines or by using the /SERVER switch ie. msg /SERVER:computername console "Message goes here".
