Microsoft have not added program like the Winpopup into the Windows NT, Windows 2000,Windows XP and Windows 2003. However you can use Net send command to send network messages from the command line interface.
Incoming messages from other Windows systems are displayed in a simple Message box.
Note: There is no need to install anything and no need to start-up any special program, this message notification is always active. If you have not disabled the Messenger service.
To send WinPopup messages ( net send messages ), you need to open a Command Prompt Window ( DOS-box ), and use the NET SEND command. To get some more help on available options of the NET command , type : NET ? , for more info on a option, type: NET ? :
To send a message please type: net send recepient_name text_of_the_message
define the name of a user (which is logged on to the network) or a computer name ( as defined in the properties of the Network ), followed by the message text.
As with Winpopup, the system will only check, that the name is valid.
But if the receiving system is a Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me system and WinPopup is NOT running, then this message will disappear into nowhere.
When sending a message to all systems of a Workgroup or Domain, it will also be displayed on the system which did send out the message :
As mentioned above: Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003 uses the same method (via the "NET SEND" - command ).
Note: the option "NET SEND" is NOT available in Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Me.
