Ok that is pretty much what I do.. Except.. Most of my net sends don't end up working.. They fail unless I explicitly do a nmblookup and specify the broadcast to find that computer..
Seeing how im dealing with the entire contents of 10.x.x.x around 20,000 computers that I may have to contact for some reason.. Its easy for me to know there netbios name.. As its there login name.. However there subnet is a whole different ballgame.. Im hoping it will clear up after browse lists have propagated in a few days.. But if you have any ideas let me know.. -Mike -----Original Message----- From: Marco De Vitis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 7:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Samba] Re: Winpopup message to all user on a PDC Il 01/07/2003, alle ore 14:19, Roberto Samarone Araujo (RSA) ha scritto: > It it possible to send messages to all users logged in a PDC at same > time ? I didn't find a ready-to-use program, so I use something like this inside an executable script: for i in $(cat /path/clientlist.txt) do echo message_text | smbclient -M $i & done clientlist.txt is an ASCII file containing a list of all NetBIOS names of the PCs in the network, e.g.: ACCOUNTING JOHN BILL_PC SHARED etc... message_text is the text you want to send. -- Ciao, Marco. ..."The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway", Genesis 1974 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
