Can I send a message to multiple users at once?

My company has an internal Jabber/XMPP server that we use to communicate as a group. Up until recently, I've been using a Jabber client called Psi (http://psi-im.org/) to connect to our Jabber server and do messaging. However, I recently decided to give Messages a try, since it includes support for the Jabber protocol. It is working great, except for one feature that I can't seem to find. With Psi, I was able to right-click on the heading of a buddy group and choose to send a message to all of the members. With Messages in Yosemite, I get an option to "Send instant message to members," but all that does is pull up my messages window with a random contact from the group selected. I also don't want to start a group chat, I just want to send a broadcast message to the group. Maybe this is just a distinction that Messages doesn't make, but with Psi there was a distinct difference between a message (just a single message, in its own window, sent from one person to one or more other people) and a chat (an ongoing conversation with one or more people, all in the same window).
Right now when I want to send one of these messages, I quit the Messages app, start Psi, send the broadcast message, quit Psi, and start Messages back up again. I'd like to be able to just use Messages.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
The Yahoo add-on bits in Messages are not worth the code they are written on.
When it was muted to be coming (pre iChat 6) we thought it would be added the same way and Jabber was in iChat 3 (later amended to allow the Google Name issue to be circumvented by having A Google Entry) including Group Chats, Direct IM, Video Chats and Audio Chat if only to other iChat/Messages users.
However this is not the case and it only does 1-1 text chats and can only use actual Yahoo IDs

It was easy on my sony ericssonn....do i need to download an app?

There is no group send option like you are looking for.
To send to a group you have to pick each person you want to send to and send as a group that way. Then don't delete that SMS thread and you can reuse it again later.
As for an app, well SMS works via your carrier and the OS, not something an App can do unless the app send the data to them (a third party) and then they relay it to the carrier. Do you really want to be sending your SMS to some 3rd party first?

Can I send notification message to other users?

Hi all,
Can abap webdynpro send out notification messages to other users in a portal? If a new user select some employees that have overwritten other same users selection, I need to send out notification message to other users that their selection have been resetted by this particular user. Can this be done in abap webdynpro?

In NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 2 there is a new feature called Web Dynpro Notification Service. It lets you send events to any other applications which are listending for that same event id. In a demo that comes with 7.02 we use this technology to create a chat application. However this functionality has to be built into each application. They must have an event handler ready to respond to the event.
So you could build what you describe into your application - but only as of 7.02. 7.02 for the Business Suite comes with BS7i2010 which is currently scheduled to start ramp-up in Q4.

Can't send short message to internal users from SO00

Hi
we're trying to send message from transaction SO00 using sap logon name. After sent it, I go to tx SOST and saw nothing in send requests; but if I use an internet address from SO00 this do appear on SOST and I can send it.
Can you help me?
Best regards

Hi,
I dont think it is possible. This is the Reply for the OSS Message we have raised for the same issue.
I'm afraid that SAPOffice is not that "smart". When you specify an
internet address and enter a SAP user name the system will not check
this entry in address managment. It will assume that you have entered
a valid RFC822 mail address. I can understand why this functionality
would be useful (as in say MS Outlook) but SAPOffice is more than a
mail client.
As the node specific routing and mail domain checks are carried within
SAPConnect (SCOT) the error will not be picked up untill RSCONN01 is
run. This is why no error message is displayed when you enter an invalidemail address in SAPOffice (SBWP).
You have raised an interesting functionality deficit. I will ask
development to consider address checks when sending emails to SAP User
Names.
Award points if helpful
Thanks,

How can i send a message to specific user?

I know I need to use ptp messaging when sending a personal message to a particular person.
How can I specify so that the person with name mike is going to receive?

Put in your message header in the form of name/value pairs, the knowledge you want to use to control the consumer flow of your messages. For example (personName, Mike). Then setup a selector on the consumer side with personName = 'Mike' (see the JMS spec for this, or your product dev guide). This will allow the consumer Mike to get the message.
Now will that prevent anyone else from reading the message? No. Anyone that would not filter on the personName could consume the message. Another way of doing it (in a more complex fashion) would be for Mike to create a temporary queue, and to send the queue name to the producer in a message on a management queue define by you. This way, only the element knowing about the queue name will be able to use the queue, hence, the producer targeted by Mike, and himself. If you need to get to that extent, then you probably also want to setup the security, so that only authorized consumers and producers can connect to your queueing system.
This forces you to allow temporary queue creation, which is sometime seen as a security risk.

How can I send an email to multiple contacts at once and have them not able to see the list or emails of the other persons included on the email?

Im trying to send one email to a list of people from my contact list but don't want them to be able to see who all is on the email list.

You use BCC instead of TO when addressing the message.
BCC = Blind Carbon Copy
The easiest way to do this is using the Contact Sidebar in the Write window. Press F9 to turn it on when a Write window is open.
Select all the contacts for the message. Hold the control key while clicking the contacts to select multiples. Then use the Add to BCC button at the bottom.

Send a message to multiple computers(Not users) from win7/xp command/or scirpt

Hi Team, is there a way to send a message to multiple windows xp/win7 computers from my win7/xp? 3rd party software,commercial or free, command line,batch or script all welcome. I have a few hundreds of computers, ping-them alive,but I don't know their
location and user name. I was failed to push SCCM client to them,some could be in work group or admin$ disabled. so I plan to send a message like " please contact IT department for your pc maintenance by this Friday or this PC will be deleted from
the corp domain", when the user contact IT, we can RDP or manual install SCCM onsite with user cooperation. The msg.exe can only send to user,instead of computer names. I tried shutdown /m \\pc-name -f -s -t 1200000 "testMessage" but I got alert
of access denied. though it works if put my local PC name. is there any other way to accomplish this? Many thanks!
Thanks and best regards, -- KF

Hi,
Base on my experience, personally I think solve this case the better method is through your help desk collect the new computer information because consider this: “some
could be in work group or admin$ disabled”, if there have more workgroup PC, it will always hardly to manage them though a purely technical method.
About the domain computer, you can refer the following thread I replayed solution, notice a message to users to connect IT department.

You can't send a message on behalf of this user unless you have permission to do so

Hi,
We are on Exchange 2010 SP2 with multiple domain name. All works ok. We need to be able to use other domains while sending email. For example, i have a default reply address set for [email protected] along with other addresses i.e [email protected] etc on
policy. I am receiving emails and can reply only using [email protected] I get the following error if i try to send email from [email protected]
[email protected]
You can't send a message on behalf of this user unless you have permission to do so. Please make sure you're sending on behalf of the correct sender, or request the necessary permission. If the
problem continues, please contact your helpdesk.
Users should have the ability to choose an address as they need rather that fixing to a single 'set as reply address'. I am sure it is possible. Can some provide some help/direction?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Byron,
Looked like a workable solution but could not get it to work. I am getting NDR with permission issue. I have created the distribution group with email address. Added the user in it. Given the user Full access and SEND AS permission.
Hi, I'm not sure what issue you are running into, but you can definitely give a user Send As permission for a group and then send as the group. I just verified in my test environment.
To assign the Send As permission, the easy way it in AD User and Computers.
Enable Advanced Features from the View menu first. This allows you to see the
Security tab.
In ADUC, find the group and open the Properties.
On the Security tab, Add the user.
With the user selected in the list, Allow the Send as
permission.
There may be a bit of lag time before that begins to work as Exchange may have cached some AD permissions, but it definitely works.

Remote Desktop Services Error when trying to send a message to a user in the collections

We are implementing RD for thin clients and when I try to send a message to a user I get an error that states,: Unable to send a message to session X on (SERVER NAME.COM). WTS API Failed
Is there a service that needs to be turned on?
Thanks EPK

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Before sending message please check following considerations.
- You must have Message special access permission to send a message to a user.
- You can send messages only to users whose sessions are in the active or connected state.
- You can send a message to a user session in Remote Desktop Services Manager by using the Send Message action.

How can I send "new" iMessages to apple users?

I am unable to send new iMessages but I can send iMessages from previous threads. How can I send new iMessages to other apple users?

Just click the button in the top right corner that looks like a pencil on a piece of paper make sure you are at the main I message screen were all the threads are listed.
If that's not the issue you can try:
1.hold the home and power button for 10-11 seconds
2. When the slide to power off comes up ignore that and keep holding home and power
3. The screen will go black and you will see an apple logo that's when you can let go of the home and power button
4. The. iPhone will come back on and you can try sending a message
If it still does not work
1. Go to settings> General> Reset> select "Reset All Settings" this will not erase any data on the device it will only reset the settings
2. After that try to send a message again
If that does not work you can try this
1. Plug your iPhone into iTunes and click your iPhone in iTunes
2. Then press backup iPhone
3. Then restore your iPhone this will erase everything and reinstall the operating system
4. Try to send a message and see if it sends
5. Then go back into iTunes and select restore from backup and select the backup you made earlier this will put all the data back on the device all apps will need to be re downloaded but app data will still be on the device. Pictures and messages. Will also be their.
If that did not solve your issue I would then go into the apple retail store
