Hello JohnsonKumara,
Thank you for your post. I think you might be referring to a net send.
Open a command prompt > Type **net send /(*ip, computer name or username you would like to send to)***If you have trouble type net send/? for assistance within the command prompt.
**Note: You must have ICMP traffic enabled on your network for this to work.
Cheers

i ran into the same issue where i needed to send a message to remote computers over the network and net send is not an option. I created this small simple script that will do it without any registry tweeks. you just need suficient privilages.
copy text below and paste in notepad. then save it as .bat
@ECHO OFF
color 74

REM - Send a Message.
ECHO.
:1
ECHO.
set /p NAME= ENTER Remote Computer Name or IP address:
set /p MESSAGE= Type your message here:
wmic /node:%NAME% process call create "msg * /w %MESSAGE%"
ECHO.
set /p ANOTHER=Do you want to send another message: y/n?
IF %ANOTHER%==y GOTO :1
IF %ANOTHER%==n GOTO :2
ECHO.
:2
pause
it works in 7 too, just has to be enabled, as its disabled by default after xp.
This works perfectly! If you don't mind me asking how did you stumble on the set /p command? I am actually in a coding/scripting class I am just trying to learn as much as possible. This works perfectly though a lot of websites tell you it is not possible without the windows messenger service running. Good on ya!
Cheers
