Enabling Net Send to receive DLO alert notifications

You can configure Net Send to send notification messages to a target computer or user.

Note:

If the target computer has Internet pop-up advertisement blocking software installed, the Net Send notification message does not appear.

    Target Computer or User Name

    Type the name of the computer or user to whom you want to send the notification. You should enter a computer rather than a user because the Net Send message fails if the user is logged off the network.
