NT Broadcast

Connect:Direct® for Microsoft Windows uses the msg command to accomplish notification through NT Broadcast. The notification is sent to the specified user or users attached to a particular computer or domain on behalf of the user context that Connect:Direct is running in.

After the notification ID is specified from within the Process Control Options category of the Process Definition dialog box, Connect:Direct supplies the user as an argument in the msg command. If the specified recipient cannot be located, or is not logged on, the notification fails and is not attempted again.
