New Tool: TSMSG

Tuesday, 17 April 2007 by Michel Roth

Warren Simondson of Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy just dropped me a line in which he announced another cool new tool. It's TSMsg, a tool that allows you to send messages to user sessions on Terminal servers. It allows you to send it to all servers or specify al wildcard in the server name so you can send it to some of the servers in your farm. Cool!

"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."
