MSG.EXE parameters Server 2008

-

we have been using quota management software third party last serveral years on server 2003.  in process of retiring server , have moved 2008, software won't send broadcast messages users when reach thresholds since 2008 can't send popups anymore.  vendors solution use msg.exe, have been screwing around last week , still won't seem send messages.   can test , send popup console, , can send user's desktop when done manually, script ensure me works doesn't.  keep getting messages user disconnected or doesn't exist.  script using quota-warning.cmd has:
msg.exe %1 /server:%2 warning: directory %3 reaching it's quota.  have %4 left.
it called software using command:
c:\quota-warning.cmd %user_name% %computername% %quota_limit_size% %quota_remaining%
when it's broadcast @ console (i added test sending user), doesn't pass of paramaeters , leaves part blank (ie. 'the directory reaching' instead of 'the directory <whatever> reaching').  nothing sent user @ all.
am missing somewhere?  asked vendor since 2008 compatible, instructions provided don't work properly, , won't troubleshoot own software (though have maintenance contract) on platform support because don't have msg.exe configured properly.
any input anyone?  thanks!

hi,

 

to use msg.exe, please refer following articles:

please check result when manually run “msg.exe %1 /server:%2 warning: directory %3 reaching it's quota.  you have %4 left.” using command prompt. if can executed successfully, can believe use correct parameters msg.exe , cause lies in software or script gave you. in case, please contact manufacturer troubleshoot issue.
