How to send messages using CMD

 Because net send was no longer supported, we will use MSG.exe. We will find out the manual how to use MSG.exe by typing msg in our command prompt.

2. The basic command to send message is as follows

msg /SERVER:pc_name session_name your_message

3. To find out pc_name, we can open RUN and type control system

or you want other way more technical by using cmd script

systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"Host Name"

4. So if I want to send a message containing "Hello World" to my other computer named Win7-Pentest-PC

msg /SERVER:Win7-Pentest-PC Win7-Pentest Hello World

5. To send the message with wildcard to all session name we can add * in session name so it become like this:

msg /SERVER:Win7-Pentest-PC * Hello World

6. To make the message appear for a specific time:

msg /SERVER:Win7-Pentest-PC Win7-Pentest /TIME:30 Hello World

the message will appear for 30 seconds.

1. If you found following error:

Error 5 getting session names

Open registry editor(RUN and type regedit), open HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Serve

Then change the following value:

Name : AllowRemoteRPC

Type : REG_DWORD

Value : 1

Refresh regedit (click view > refresh) or restart PC.
