Broadcast Alerts

You can use Alert broadcasts to communicate information to specific network users or groups.

To use Broadcast Alerts, you must enable Windows Messenger services on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 systems. The Messenger service is disabled by default on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 systems.

Note: Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and later versions do not support Messenger services. As a result, Broadcast Alerts is not supported either of these platforms.

To configure broadcast options, right-click Broadcast and select New Item.

When the Broadcast Recipients page appears, enter or select all machine names in your network that you want to receive alert messages, and then click Add.
