Thanks Arno... I'd looked at smbclient and completely missed that command !
Seems to work OK for some of the users but strangely it can't resolve my PC's netbios name ! I'll need to check some other settings I suppose. Is there a way of sending to ALL users at once ?

Hi Mike, there is a "simple" way for that. you can use the smbclient on your linux system. f.e. smbclient -M Computer sends a message to the PC with the netbiosname Computer. regards Arno > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Auftrag von > Mike Stewart > Gesendet: Freitag, 14.
