Screen Popup

Network administrators often need to broadcast messages throughout the network, notifying users about important events such as connection outages. Screen Popup can give them a helping hand in this matter, providing a simple way to send messages to multiple workstations connected to the same LAN.
The configuration procedure shouldn't pose problems to any user, since the instructions in the documentation are clear and intelligible. The 'Configurator' is the first program you must launch, which helps you install the remote agent on all the computers you want to communicate with.
Screen Popup makes use of a shared folder in order to send its messages, provided that all workstations are assigned read and write permission for this location. Once this directory's path is set, you can proceed to remotely installing the agent. This step requires you to know the name of the target PC or its IP address and have administrator rights over the remote PC.
Once the agent is installed on one or more network machines and after the mandatory restart of each computer, Screen Popup allows message transmission. The program that enables you to do so is suggestively called 'Sender' and features a simple window comprising a single field for pasting or manually typing the text to broadcast.
The message is displayed in a small popup window on the screen of each computer the agent is installed on (regardless of its subnet) and automatically saved in a text file located in the shared folder.
With a little bit of networking knowledge and the assistance of Screen Popup, you can easily and quickly transmit text messages to one or more workstations in your LAN. The easy configuration and the intuitive instructions make it worth having within reach.
