I need to know how to use the MSG.exe function with Vista Business to send
message to both vista and win2k users. All machines are in the same domain.
I'm local admin on my box.

If I use
MSG * /serverthervistabox test message
I get the error Error 5 getting session names.

If I use
MSG * /server:win2kbox test message
I get the error Error 1722 getting session names

Any help will be appreciated.

Well, what happens when you do Net Send?

If you've moved on to Vista and go looking for the Net Send command, you
aren't going to find it. This is because the command has been replaced
with MSG.EXE. To launch the command: click on the Start button, type CMD
in the search box and press Enter. The Command Prompt window will appear
where you can send a message using MSG.EXE. For additional information
about MSG.EXE, type msg /? at the command prompt and press Enter.
Or your may choose a business-level LAN messenger like 'BigAnt
Corporate Messenger ' (http://www.bigantsoft.com)for an alternative.
