Need to turn on Net Send
in [Windows Servers]
|
From: SteveP on 22 Nov 2006 11:17 Network is 2003 standard server SP1 and clients are all XP Pro. I need to be able to Net Send on the network. I know Messenger service needs to be started for all computers. I cannot go to each user and turn it on. How do I make all computers on the network allow net send? -- Thanks, Steve
From: myweb on 22 Nov 2006 11:25 Hello SteveP, Use the Group Policy for it, start the service messenger with automatic setting and it should work without running around. Be sure the ws belongs to the OU where you link this policy.

From: SteveP on 22 Nov 2006 12:00 I knew it was a GPO. I created a GPO called Net Send Policy and drilled down to Services where I turned on Messenger service. Then I linked it to our Computers Group. Will this do it? -- Thanks, Steve "myweb" wrote: > Hello SteveP, > > Use the Group Policy for it, start the service messenger with automatic setting > and it should work without running around.

From: myweb on 23 Nov 2006 01:44 Hello SteveP, You can't use the computer group for the policy. It MUST be an Organisational Unit.

Sorry to ask a folloe up question. I haven't been able to get my new policy to work. Here is what I've done: I created a group policy called Net Send. Then I drilled down to windows settings / security settings / system services / messenger / checked define this policy setting / selected automatic. I then linked this GP to the user group for our IT department to test it. I restarted my workstation and my messenger service was still disabled. It should have been automatic and started. Where have I gon wrong and how do I correct it? -- Thanks, Steve "myweb" wrote: > Hello SteveP, > > You can't use the computer group for the policy.
