I wouldnt trust this as a primary digital emergency notification system, as its not auditable. -- ME2 On Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 12:54 PM, Jonathan Link <jonathan.l...@gmail.com> wrote: My past experience with relying on a computer to send time sensitive notifications is hit and miss. We find paging via intercom systems and office speakers to be the most effective. Is this not a possibility for you?

I tried msg.exe (Windows 7), but didn't have much luck. I understand I need to change a registry setting on all Windows 7 machines for this to work. I also understand that Net Send doesn't work on Windows (and needs message service turn on which is turned off by default), and msg.exe doesn't work for XP (unless there is a download for it????) We support XP and Windows 7, with a couple of Vista machines (all pro versions, i.e. no home versions). There are also a few Macs on the network. What can we do to support an emergency message to all "turned-on/connected to the lan" computers? Price will be a factor, so free is best J. Ideas? Thanks.
