"Net send" Sends messages to other users, computers, or messaging names on the network.

Syntax
net send {name | * | /domain[:name] | /users} message


I think this is what you are looking for.

I think you are talking about the net command. You can do net send to send a message to a specific machine or a group of machines. More info here http://www.computerhope.com/nethlp.htm , hope this helps

I type to slow :P. Lemon already posted the answer :P
