NET SEND Replacement
|
|

| I'm trying to develop a replacement for net send that will
display the corporate logo, etc. Its working
fantastically, but I cannot target users with it, only
their machines. Old NET SEND is able to cope with users as
a parameter and deliver the message. Anyone got any ideas
how to do it in script? or VB? or anything?????

| Well, it's kinda hard to say without know what it is that you're doing!
The reason that one can net send a user is that when the messenger service
is running, it registers both the username and the computername in WINS as
valid net-sendable addresses. So, it's not anything that is on ~your~
computer that is allowing you to net send the username. It's the fact that
the other computer has that username as a recipient name registered with
WINS and/or broadcasted in its netbios table.

| So is there any way of querying the WINS (or DNS) as to where a user is
logged on?

| There's a "shell out" method that relies on a third party freeware tool from
Systernals. Take a look at http://www.jsiinc.com/subj/tip4700/rh4712.htm.

| Any chance you can post what you have so far?

| What I have is a VB.net application not a VB Script, so it
probably would not be of much help, but if you're still
interested I can zip up the source code (Its only 30 or so
lines of code) and email you it.
