i want to, for example, be able to send a message from admin01 to Dave only (when logged in) on acernotebook, and to kelly on acernotebook.

Install any LAN messenger on every PC in the workgroup, they detect each other in LAN. You can chat, send files and messages without these "msg", "net send" commands.
