Lately I learnt to send a message through LAN with the command msg by using:

msg /server:EAAULA114-07 * message.

But I can't send messages to some PCs because it outputs:

Error 1772 getting session names and on others Error 5 getting session names.

It also outputs Error 1722 getting session names when I try to send a message to the whole network by using:

msg /server:* * message or msg /server:192.168.1.1 * message.

I tried changing the registry value:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer]
"AllowRemoteRCP"=dword:00000001

But it still doesn't work.

Thanks everyone!

When you receive error 1772, the messenger service required to run on the destination pc is not running and the message could not be delivered.

Error 1722 is received if you have no admin rights for that area.

Error 5 means that you need to be local administrator to perform that action.

This basically means, if you are not the network administrator, there is basically nothing you can do.

Network administrators can use group policies to disable this feature too, so they can disable it on the entire network.
