I am trying to write a batch file that I can net send the same message to certain Win2000/XP IP address on my network. Where I only have to add the messge on one line and not all lines. Is there a way to do this or should I find a 3rd party GUI software to do this? If so do you know of any free ones? Here is is my test message batch file.
net send 10.192.100.217 This is an systems test message... net send 10.192.101.79 This is an systems test message...

A straightforward solution is
Set MyMsg=This is my System Test message
Set NetMsg=%MyMsg% Net Send 10.192.100.217 %NetMsg% ...... Set NetMsg= Net Send ........... %NetMsg% ........ Set NetMsg=%MyMsg% Net Send 10.192.101.79 %NetMsg%
and so on, setting NetMsg before the Net Send command to the desidered text or clearing it or omitting at all.
