Net Send Failure

On a Windows 2000 Server in MYDomain I can do the following
successfully:

Net Send JoeUser "test"

However on a Windows Server 2003 (Standard Edition) in MyDomain I get:

An error occurred while sending a message to JoeUser.
The message alias could not be found on the network.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2273.

If I enter: net send /DOMAIN:MyDomain joeuser "test"
net send comes back with:

The message was successfully sent to domain MyDomain

BUT... no popups are received.

Is there something common to a Windows Server 2003 server that I need
to configure to get this to work?

How does this relate to SQL Server 2000? I figure that if I can get it
to work via a command prompt that it will work for notification as well
-- which at this point it doesn't.

Thanks for any help.

Most likely the messenger service is not enabled by default in Windows 2003.
This is a good thing; there is no authentication with the messenger service,
so that anyone at all can send those "popup" messages to you claiming to be
anyone they want. I rejoiced when I saw SP2 for XP turned that service off.

If you have to use this, you'll need to enable the messager service. It's
probably set to "disabled", so you'll need a reboot once you've set it to
"automatic" for it to start.

Hmm. I think the same logic would apply to fixing an SQL server that doesn't
boot because the hard-drive failed; that too would prevent you from using SQL.

But I figured I'd be nice and answer it, anyway :)|||Enabling the "Messenger" service under the Services Applet corrected
the problem. No reboot was necessary. Yes it seems that a lot of the
services previously available by default in previous OS' are locked
down in Windows Server 2003.

It's people like you who make the newsgroups my first source for
finding solutions.

Thank you!

need ur help

hi all,
I was wondering how I can enforce some configurations to sql server
2000, like auditing failure logins for example, but without using the
enterprise manager.
I need to implement a tool that will set some configurations
automatically without human intervention, any idea how can i do
so''
thanx for time and helpQuick answer: You can do the configuration changes in Enterprise Manager
while being connected to the instance with SQL Profiler. That way you can
see what EM is doing on the DB and thereby you can reproduce that. But I'm
not sure if EM does everything by T-SQL or if it partly relies in DMO for
configuration. Question to the experts: In that case, would something show
up in the Profiler log?
Best regards

and with which programming language you want to do it, DMO might also be
well suited for the task.
