The only luck I have is locally, anything else is Error 5, which is strange since I'm logged in with an account that has administrative rights across all the computers I'm messaging in our domain.

After researching what ever I could and reading this thread, plus experimenting, I found that what worked was this: msg /server:PCname USERname or msg /server:PCname * Notice that you need to use both the name of the system you want to connect to and the user who is logged in. Although the wildcard (*) works just as well in place of the username. But you do need to make the registry edit provided by CONSOLES on August 14th, 2008 for this to work.

My colleague and I have ostensibly identical Vista Enterprise machines. When I try to MSG him, I get an error that doesn't even Google: "Error 1825 getting session names" When he tries to MSG me, he gets the error 5 described by commenters here. We can both MSG to other, non-Vista machines. Bizarre. Heh.

That's caused by WinXP SP2. you need to add this registry entry: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server Name : AllowRemoteRPC Type : REG_DWORD Value : 1 Restart and then try sending and it should work. Worked for me on 3 out of 3 PC's so far. I found the solution to Access is Denied errors when using the above commands.
