Broadcasting messages to other users on the LAN
Posted: Mon Jul 27, 2009 9:21 am
Hi all,
Does anyone know anything about broadcasting messages to others users on a LAN - by choosing specific users AND also by broadcasting to ALL users?
I'm trying to figure out a way - hopefully from within BR - to allow my user to broadcast alert messages, such as "Backup will begin in 10 minutes" or "Posting in Process" or "Please exit the Accounting application. System will shut down at 4:30pm". In some cases, messages may pertain to selected users only, and other times it may be applicable to everyone. I'd love to specify users by Login Name, but any method would be better than none.
Do any of you do this currently - from within BR? Or even from outside of BR? This client is running on Windows 2003 server R2.
