Terminal Server Usage of Net Name/Net Send (186486)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition
This article was previously published under Q186486 SUMMARY
On a computer running Windows NT Server or Workstation, you can register up
to 16 names using the NET NAME /ADD command-line utility. However, although
Messenger will receive messages for all registered names, it will only
display messages intended for the logged on user name. Messages for other
registered names are not displayed.
Messenger has been modified to allow 256 registered aliases and messages
sent to any of these aliases will be displayed on the screen. These aliases
are per user so individual users (or user applications) can register and
delete these names (through NET NAME /ADD /DEL) without affecting other
users.
Another messaging modification is that all users logged on with the same
name or using the same registered alias will receive messages sent to that
name. In Windows NT Server or Workstation, only the first instance of the
name receives the message.
Also, if a message is sent to the computername of a Terminal Server, all
Client sessions will receive the message. This is similar to the
functionality of the MSG * command.
