Net send over different domains

Hi

We have two different networks, each one has one SBS 2003 server and Windows
XP clients. Because users from domain A and B want to access resources from
other domain I have configure routing so that both networks can be accessed.
Because there are two SBS 2003 I couldn't create trust between them, so I
created the same account in each domain so that users could access files
from both domain.
Now they want to use net send command, so I'm wondering if it is possible
and how that users from domain A could use 'net send' to send info to users
in domain B and users from domain B could use 'net send' to users in domain
A?
Thank you in advance
Regards,Miha

Miha,
yes - you can - as long as Messenger service is running on the target , its
UDP port 138 is accessible, and you have a name resolution method available
between both domains (assuming that you use computer names rather than IP
addresses)...

In addition I found a long time ago a free program that will make it easy to
net send to people.
http://www.sbits.biz/SendTextMessage.exe

Good to use when Shutting down a server in a large office.

NOTE:
The messenger Service is deliberately disabled by WinXP SP2 and above.
