Msg windows 10 пример

The msg command is a Command Prompt command that’s used to send a message to one or more users on the network using the Command Prompt.

When the command is triggered, a prompt is displayed on the machine(s) that it was sent to that shows the message as well as the sender’s username and the time that the message was sent.

It functions similarly to the net send command that was popular in Windows XP, but it’s not a true replacement for it. See Using the Msg Command to Replace Net Send further down the page.

Msg Command Availability

The msg command is available from within the Command Prompt in Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP.

It’s also available through the Command Prompt tool that’s accessible in Advanced Startup Options and System Recovery Options.

Msg Command Syntax

msg {username | sessionname | sessionid | @filename | *} [/server:servername] [/time:seconds] [/v] [/w] [message]

Msg Command Examples

 msg @myteam The Melting Pot at 1pm, on me!

In this example, the msg command is being used to tell a select number of users contained in the myteam file [@filename] connected to the server that there should be a meeting at The Melting Pot for lunch [message].

 msg RODREGT /server:TSWHS002 /time:300

Here, we’ve used the command to send a message to RODREGT [username], an employee that connects to the TSWHS002 [/server:servername] server. The message is very time-sensitive, so we don’t even want him to see it if he hasn’t seen it after five minutes [/time:seconds].

Since a message wasn’t specified, the msg command will present a note at the prompt that says Enter message to send; end message by pressing CTRL-Z on a new line, then ENTER. 

After entering a message for RODREGT, you’d press the Enter key, then CTRL+Z, then Enter again.

 msg * /v Test Message!

In the above example, we’re sending everyone connected to the server a test message [message]. We also want to see the specific tasks that the msg command is performing to do this [/v].

This is an easy example you can try at home, with no users connected to your computer. You’ll see the message pop up on your own screen and the following data in the Command Prompt window, thanks to using the verbose switch:

 Sending message to session Console, display time 60
Async message sent to session Console

Using the Msg Command to Replace Net Send

The msg command is intended to be used as a messaging system to terminal server users, not necessarily between two Windows 7 computers, for example.

In fact, you might have a difficult time getting it to work between two standard Windows machines like the net send command did. You might get an «Error 5 getting session names» or an «Error 1825 getting session names» message.

However, some have had luck using the msg command in this way by changing the AllowRemoteRPC registry value data from 0 to 1 on the computer receiving the message (reboot the computer after the change if you do this). This key is located in the Windows Registry under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive at this location: SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server.

Msg Related Commands

The msg command is a networking command, so it might be used with other network-related commands, but generally, it’ll be used alone to send a message.

Also, as mentioned a few times, this command is similar to the retired net send command.

Thanks for letting us know!

When you have computers connected over a network, it is possible to send a message to them without using any software. The process works in a similar way to how data is sent from one computer to another. Windows offers MSG or messaging tool which operates from the Command Prompt. In this post, we will discuss how you can send message to an IP address or user from the Command Prompt.

MSG command helps you to send a message to a specific user on a particular computer. If you are an admin, you can use the command syntax to figure out the exact username.</

• Open Command Prompt with admin privileges. (Type CMD in the search and launch it with admin permissions)
• Make sure to keep the username, server name, etc. are with you.
• Type MSG <username> or msg * /server:computername message and press the Enter key
• It will let you type any number of the message unless you hit control + z
• Once you type the message, press the Enter key, and it will send the message.

The message should be received on the other side if messaging services are set up in the form of a pop-up window. The user, on the other side, can also use the same method to send a message.

Earlier to Windows 11/10, it was possible to use the NET command to send messages to a particular IP address, but it has been deprecated.

• Type nslookup and the domain name of the computer
• It will reveal the IP address instantly.

How to send multiple line messages to another Windows PC?

• First, write the message in a text file, and save it. Make sure to note the location.
• Open Windows Terminal, and execute the command.

type \fullpath\multiplelinemessages.txt | msg * /server:computername

It will open the pop-up window, and the message will be displayed as you wrote it.

How Do I Send Messages to Another Computer Using PowerShell?

You can use the following script:

$name = read-host "Enter computer name "
$msg = read-host "Enter your message "
Invoke-WmiMethod -Path Win32_Process -Name Create -ArgumentList "msg * $msg" -ComputerName $name

Картинка с сайта: www.cezeo.com

Note: You can try our advanced replacement for msg command — LanTalk NET messenger with command line utility. LanTalk NET can send messages and even files via command line.

Usage

Msg command does not require messenger service to be enabled (since Windows Vista messenger service is removed from the system). Msg command has been designed to send messages to the terminal sessions on the same server or the other servers that you know. So, it’s not very useful if you want to send messages to the different users on the different servers on the network in a random manner.

Full list of parameters and options of the msg command with variants of use is listed below:

msg username /server:servername /time:seconds /v /w /? messagetext

msg sessionname /server:servername /time:seconds /v /w /? messagetext

msg sessionID /server:servername /time:seconds /v /w /? messagetext

msg @filewithnames /server:servername /time:seconds /v /w /? messagetext

msg * /server:servername /time:seconds /v /w /? messagetext

Detailed description:

username — The target user name.

sessionname — The name of the session that was created by the administrator when the session was configured.

sessionID — The ID value of the session.

filewithnames — Path to file that contains a list of usernames, sessionnames, and sessionIDs to which to send the message.

messagetext — The text of the message you want to send to users (sessions etc.). If no message is found, standard input STDIN will be used to read the text for the message.

server:servername — Points to the terminal server. Current terminal server will be used if not specified.

time:seconds — Sets the waiting time before you receive confirmation from the target session that the message has been received.

w — Will wait for a response from the target user or users.

v — Displays detailed information about the each step of msg command.

? — Displays the help for syntax of the msg command and information about the options.

How to send messages with msg command

To send the message with text «lunch time» to all sessions of user RON, use this command in command prompt:
msg RON Lunch time?

If you want to send the message to all usernames that is stored in the file USERS, use this command:
msg @users Please logout in 10min due to server maintenance

When you have your message in the text file (message.txt) and you want to send it to PAUL, use this command:
msg PAUL < message.txt

If you want to send the message to all logged users, use this command:
msg * Please, save your work. Server maintenance!

Security Limitations

The user must have Message access permission for the session to be able to send the messages via msg command.

Troubleshooting

If you have any problems or receive an «access denied» error or «Error 5 getting session names» error while you trying to use msg.exe, try the following steps to fix the problem with msg command:

1. Open the Registry Editor ( regedit.exe ).

2. In the left panel, locate and then click on the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Terminal Server

3. In the right panel, find the key AllowRemoteRPC and be sure the value of the key is 1. If the value is not 1, change it to 1.

4. Close Registry Editor and restart your computer.

5. Run MSG.EXE command in the elevated CMD window. Launch it when you hold Ctrl+Shift keys to enter elevated mode.
