Yes, XP has netsend. However if you have Service Pack 2 installed (which you should), the service will be disabled.

You need to enable the "Messenger Service" on the computers you want to have send and receive messages from.

You can activate the service on all your client computers from Active Directory

Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\System Services.

Computers in this OU will obviously need a restart to apply the new policy
