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.
