Ok, that worked fine for me. But what I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to send the message out to all systems in a winblows domain that a particular user is logged onto. For example, If BJob was logged onto 3 systems in the domain I would like to send him a message on all three boxes. I would like to do this because as you can guess when dealing with anything over 2 users it becomes a real pain in the ass to keep track of their system. And what's more if they happen to upgrade the system in a year or two I will have to make changes to my scripts.
