What happens if you have a simple shared database, that has four
fields, message ID, expires date, target code, and a memo field with
the message?

Then you can periodically poll for changes in this database... and
post changes as required?

Using RegisterTimer, right? But I think it would turn my app slow.

David.

Understood, but nor is such an approach appropriate. The correct answer
is to build a service which manages such things and interface it with
Active Directory.

If the AD route is too complex then just a simple NT service would do.

No - why do you say this?

Jairo.

But what you are saying is that you wish your client application to
provide server level features??? That usually is not the role of a
client application and if you are unwilling to use the operating system
for this purpose then there really only two options:

1. As David suggests - a polled database solution
2. you write a service

Personally I would go with the database option because it is simplest to
implement and distribute but it is tied 100% to your application
running. A service is more universal and could now operate to users even
when they don't run the app.

Cheers,

Geoff
