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,

Well, I'm not great with Perl, but this should do the trick.
#!/perl/bin open(names, "newnames.txt"); while (){ $name = split; chomp($name); #Gets rid of return char system("net send $name Hello"); }
This would net send everyone you specify in newnames.txt

It seems that it won't let me post the correct syntax for the while loop. Inside the parenthenses there needs to be left angle names right angle.
