I am trying to find a way to do a NET SEND from WIN NT to multiple users but not from a domain controller. I know you can do one at a time by doing net send |message. I am not playing with a .bat file but not sure how to do the switch so a message only has to be typed once but each name is sent with the same message. some type of swithc. any help would be great. thanks,

My company does it all the time. They net send to a word like "staff" which has been associated like a Distribution List. So maybe try setting up something like that.

I'd like to Use net send to send to multiple IPs. namely 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.0.255. Is there an easy way to do this. Using a script, .bat maybe? Thanks in advance.

Try this: FOR /L %v IN (1,1,255) DO net send 10.0.0.%v Hello there
In a batch file it will have to look like this (notics %% instead of %): FOR /L %%v IN (1,1,255) DO net send 10.0.0.%%v Hello there
Summary: Simplest way is when you want to send to one user in the same domain as you. Then a sample usage would be... net send [machine] [message] ...so if you and I are in the same domain and my computer nam...
