Broadcast alert? Send message to every system in the LAN? What protocol do you want to use for this?

Just a network broadcast using IP wheer you can select the reciepients usually by browsing the domain for machines that will recieve the alert.

Alex, I think he is looking for mailslot broadcasting like NET SEND does.

So, it can be implemented by using external program. Add "Execute external program" action and specify command line like "NET SEND /DOMAIN:name_of_domain message". Novell Netware client has similar program: SEND "message" [TO] user or group

Hi

Ive got that working now on:

NET SEND JAMES TEST

test being the message is there any variables i could include in the message to show the test name or would that not be possible due to it not being a /option in the net send command

Of course you can use macro variables, there are list http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... .htm#macro
E.g. NET SEND JAMES "Test %TestName% failed at %DateTime%"
