Download Pick: Free Citrix/ Terminal server Tool - TSMsg

Below is a new download from Warren Simondson at CTRL-Alt_del.com.

Hi All

I hope all is well around the world. TSMsg is yet another freeware tool I wrote from the requests of the thin community around the world.

As always it can be downloaded at http://www.ctrl-alt-del.com.au/CAD_Utils.htm

TSMsg is a command-line tool to message Citrix or Terminal Server

Sessions on any server within a Domain.

This utility was written to replace the command MSG.EXE currently found in the MS Windows Operating System. This utility offers an extra feature that will be of benefit to all admins - the /SERVER:* switch.

Using this switch, an administrator can message all users on all Citrix/TS servers with one command or multiple servers with a common structure e.g. /Server:MySer*. This command can also be used in a script.

This utility is FREEWARE and was written by Warren Simondson of Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy, Australia. www.ctrl-alt-del.com.au

Thank you to the WINDOWS SDK available from http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads
