Is there a program for sending messages to AD?
Good afternoon!
Recommend a program for sending (pop up) messages to MS AD users. It is desirable that it was possible to send a message to user groups according to the groups created in AD. Besides it would be desirable to have control about reading of the given message, about its receipt by the user. To indicate the importance of the message. display period.
Hunting something more advanced than msg.exe (net send)
Paid or free doesn't matter.
The second day I try to find it myself on the Internet to no avail.
Mostly computers with Win7 work on the network But there are a large number of computers with WinXP (about 100)

the first thing that comes to mind and what I use is Kaspersky Endpoint Security. This is something like a fork in a Swiss knife - not the main functionality, but it's good that it is.
You can send messages there. But there is a mailing not to the user, but to the computer. There are no settings for message control.
Look at Bopup Messenger Once upon a time I tested it, it seems that she can do all this. Only on computers it is necessary to install the client part and have a server from which messages will be sent.
For these purposes, you can install a jabber server, such as openfire. The roster (list of contacts) can be taken from AD there, everything is quite simply configured. Regarding the read control in the xmpp standards, this is mentioned in XEP-0184 .
But at least the standard net send can be used from the script.
I have an article on Habré on how to organize the distribution of net send messages to a farm of rdp servers from a psh script with winforms gui.
"standard net send" - blocked by firewall by default. And for reception, like the service is stopped by default. The reason - there was a moment, it was used for spam.
If the network is peer-to-peer, you can use any chat client without a centralized server. Some are compatible with "standard net send".
