本文解决了一台Windows Server 2008 R2机器无法向另一台Windows 7机器发送消息的问题。通过修改注册表中的AllowRemoteRPC值并重启计算机，成功实现了msg通信。

Info
My Windows-Server 2008 R2 machine couldn’t msg my Windows 7 box due to Error 5 getting session names.
I found the solution here, in a comment made by Consoles. I reblog it so it can be found easier.

It turns out it has nothing to do with not being on the same domain or whatever. It is due to a setting related to Terminal Server.
That’s not to miraculous, since msg.exe is designed for messaging to terminal users.

So, changing a simple registry value and rebooting makes it all work again.

Solution
On the machine that you cannot message to:
Use regedit to navigate to: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
Then change the following value:

Name : AllowRemoteRPC
Type : REG_DWORD
Value : 1

Reboot. Now it should work.
