Answer 1

Here is the usage statement for what you are looking for:

NET SEND
{name | * | /DOMAIN[:name] | /USERS} message

Example:
NET SEND computerName1 "this is a test message"

Answer 2

or It is windows messenger and it is done through Computer Management..in Administrative Tools inside the control panel of windows 2000 and later computers Click Action...All Tasks...Send Console Message. Windows Messenger Service has to be turned on on the computer you are trying to send the message to and most likely, depending on where you are trying to do it from or to, it has been disabled because getting unwanted messages from that thing is a pain in the a$$

Answer 3

To follow up on the previous answer... if you want to send the message "Hello!" to someone with the user name of "curlie", you'd open the command prompt and type: net send curlie Hello!

Answer 4

NET SEND {name | * | /DOMAIN[:name] | /USERS} message
