Script Required - Send a custom message to multiple computers

[timbo343]

I was wondering if anyone could help with writing a script that would notify specific users (this would be configured in the script) who are logged on to the network with a message box that showed a custom message showing the requstor's Active Directory Display name along with the ComputerName the message was sent from. 

 

The EXE would need to be ran when a set of keys on the keyboard were pressed simultaneously. 

 

I have managed to create a very basic application with AutoHotKeys installed on my machine and i've tested:

 

^j::
Run, msg.exe {username} /server:{computername} "This is a test"
Run, msg.exe {username} /server:{computername} "This is a test"
return

 

What this script does is when Ctrl j are pressed on the keyboard, the message is shown to users logged on to those machines.

 

This is a starting block but i'd like it to include %username% and %computername% too. 

 

I don't think msg.exe knows about these command (unless someone can prove me wrong) but i thought about using AutoIT with an EXE however im not sure how to write a script in AutoIT that will do this job.

 

I know there are paid programs out there that do this kinda thing, but with us having literally no money at all, we have to come up with a free version.

 

Any help would be grateful.

Think you are in the wrong forum as that looks very much like AHK and this is it's original big brother called AutoIt3.

Why does this sound like its a keylogger... or sounds like a disgruntle employee?

@Skeletor please read up on this thread:

tl;dr - If a post is blatantly against the forum rules, report it and move on. If you are unsure but think it might be, report it and move on.

I actually didn't read any of the content in detail as the syntax isn't AutoIt3....

@JLogan3o13 lol... didn't know that even existed. Good work there mod.
