Net Send doesn't work

[Raize 0]

I'm not really sure which forum this goes in, sorry.

 

When I go to the Command Prompt and type, for example, 'net send alex Hey there' it says "The service name is invalid". I think Net Send has been disabled somehow. Is there a way to re-enable it?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I've never used it with usernames but I do use it with computer names.

 

net send computernames message

 

Hope this helps.
