Yes, you can send the message form a Win2k server.  Another thing to check on the scheduler thing:  Try making a batch file with this in the contents:

 

  set > c:\set.txt

 

Then check set.txt, and make sure that c:\winnt\system32 or c:\windows system32 is in the path.  Net is not an internal command, it is an exe.  I suspect that the system environment has been changed somehow.  Anyway, you can do what you were trying to do by changing your batch file to:

 

c:\winnt\system32\net.exe send moin test

well, i tried all methods that everyone mentioned but it didnt work, still confuse when i directly run the script from a command prompt its work, and when trying from Win 2000/NT schedular it didnt. anyhow, I use the Win32::Message extension to use the same thing as mentioned in Roths Book.

Roth, I have a question, can i use that extension to send message from win 2000 server, or i only send message from NT?
thanks,

I think the problem is the missing path in
         system("test.bat")
unless test.bat is in the same directory as the Task Scheduler.

So, add the path in e.g. system("c:\somewhere\test.bat");
