I used to use it all the time for a poor man's logon locator. Net send to a user ID and check the name cache and you could tell where they were logged in.

Yah, the NET SEND functionality is/was really useful for things like service warnings. I had it rigged up so that if the server UPS goes to batteries, it sends one warning, and another as it approaches shutdown. I can understand having it disabled by default, but IIRC it's been removed entirely in Vista or 7. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
