How to Fix Error 5 Getting Session Names in Windows 10
Windows 10 server lets you send a message applying MSG command (msg.exe) on the same Local network. This feature has been available since the starting version of Windows, but that time “time net send” command was used. MSG command replaced the time net send in Windows Vista. Few users complain that the get Error 5 Getting Session Names issue while running the command.
You can send SMS at command prompt (admin) using msg syntax. msg.exe is designed for messaging to terminal users so the cause of this issue is a misconfiguration or lack of proper settings on the server. So a simple registry tweak repairs the issue and makes you able to send messages again.
msg.exe command doesn’t need a 3rd party or built-in service and works on Windows 10 pro and business. Unfortunately, the process ends up with Error 5 getting session names or Access denied on some machines.
Error 5 Getting Session Names in Windows 10 Solution
Before going for the following solution, make sure that you are using correct syntax in the elevated Command prompt. For example, define the server, user, and put the message in string format. Suppose the user is J Robert who is running jrobert-PC then the syntax for msg.exe would be
C:\ msg /server:jrobert-pc jrobert “Please help me” where Please help me is the text of the message you are sending.
When you use IP Address instead of the PC name you might find the issue like Access denied or Error 5 getting session names.
Ensure that you have logged into Windows 10 as an administrator and avail the permission for the session to be able to send the messages employing msg command.
Registry Tweak
Registry key manipulation is a risky work so we recommend taking a backup of the prior to starting the process.
Step-1: Press Windows logo key, type regedit.exe and then hit Enter. Select Yes on the User account control prompt locking the screen.
Step-2: Copy the path
paste into the address bar of the Registry Editor and press Enter.
Step-3: Go to the right pane and locate the key AllowRemoteRPC. Once found, make a right click and select Modify from the menu.
Step-4: On the Edit DWORD (32-bit) Value pop up, enter 1 in the value data field and select OK.
Close the registry editor, reboot the Windows 10 system and enjoy using MSG command.

Question
Ok after 2 days of research and messing with policys i still have yet to resolve this issue. Due to vista not having netsend anymore I tried using the msg.exe command. So far I have got it to work just on my local computer. But sending it to other vista computers It gives me an error:
Error 5 getting session names
I am computer Atlantis
Destination: computer designated as «Challenger»
Both running Vista Business SP1
msg /server:atlantis admin «Test Message»
(local to local pc works)
msg /server:challenger admin «Test Message»
—> Response: «Error 5 Getting Session Names»
We are in the same work group, we are not part of a domain
Any help would be appreciated. From reading it seems to be a policy edit that needs to be changed, but I do not know what to change, so any detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Alternative i tried: Also i downloaded netsend by czero.com and I can only send the message to XP computers. I cannot send a message to even myself.

Msg.exe can only send message to a terminal server role, based on my test.
Both Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 with terminal service correctly configured can receive the message sent by Msg.exe from Windows Vista-based PC.
So if this only works as a terminal service role then what is the alternative to netsend because the program from cezeo as the netsend replacement doesn’t seem to work either.
Based on some discussions about this topic, some community members provide the following tool as the replacement of net send that is not included in Windows Vista:
It’s said to support Windows Vista. Please give it a try.

Actually based on my research and use of this tool, this seems to only work for machines doing Vista->XP machines
Vista Business -> Vista Business doesn’t seem to work with this at all thats why i tried using msg.exe to do vista to vista communications
Also XP -> Vista communcations doesn’t seem to work either. Looks like the messenger service is the key for recieving in Vista or some kind of permission setting
Just an update on this issue that I forgot to post on this thread.
The cezero netsend allows you to send netsend messages but it doesn’t actually allow receiving because there is no winpopup installed on vista. As an alternative, msg.exe does work only in a domain environment.
For those of you on a workgroup environment such as me, I have found a solution that actually works.
Program called WinSent 1.1, install that czero netsend and just run this program, it is a freeware basic messaging window that is the closest thing I can find on the web to resemble netsend. It pops up and can be closed down.
Issue I ran into working at a library environment, patrons tend to turn the program off, work around I found.
I’m sorry I can’t find the tiny program, but there is a program that can be found on google, its about 50k big, what it does is search for a particular instance of a program of your choice and if its closed it reopens it to your system tray, the little program runs as a hidden process and you can set it to whatever time you want it to check. ex: 1 second, 5 seconds etc.
Other issue that I have yet to fix nor will I be able to fix, once the pop up message window actualyl opens, it can be dragged out of the viewable range and that is the end of that. Only work around I found is that when you log off using steadystate and log back into the profile it is reset.

Ошибка 5 в Windows 10
Иногда при установке программ либо приложений на экране компьютера появляется сообщение, о том, что возникла ошибка 5 Windows 10. Это означает что пользователю отказано в доступе. Подобное случается если в системе есть несколько учётных записей людей, пользующихся ПК.
Ошибка 5 отказано в доступе Windows 10
Такая ошибка возникает по причине отсутствия прав доступа к каталогам, в которых сохраняются временные файлы TEMP. Это значит, что у пользователя ограничены права на чтение и другие действия с информацией, находящейся в папке.
Решить подобную проблему возможно следующим образом:
- Восстановить права можно, если запустить программу от имени администратора. Это несложный и временный метод поможет избавиться от ошибки. Необходимо на имеющемся значке установщика щёлкнуть правой кнопкой мыши. Появится меню, из которого требуется выбрать «Запуск от имени администратора».
Чтобы воспользоваться этим вариантом, юзер, не имеющий права доступа, должен иметь пароль одного из людей, находящихся в административной группе и ввести его. После проведения процедуры программа запустится.
Для разрешения доступа к папке всем пользователям, необходимо выполнить следующие действия:
- Нажать комбинацию Win+R .
- Выполнить ввод: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\ .
- Найти папку TEMP, в ней требуется нажать правой кнопкой мыши на «Свойства».
- Далее, зайти в раздел «Безопасность».
- Найти категорию под названием «Группы и пользователи», а затем нажать на «Создатель-Владелец».
- В открывшимся окне нужно отметить и подтвердить доступ для всех пользователей ПК,
Аналогичная процедура делается с такими параметрами, как «Администраторы», «Пользователи», «Система», «TrustedInstaller».
- Можно попробовать другой не менее эффективный способ. Необходимо открыть командную строку от имени админа. В окне требуется вписать net localgroup Администратор /add networkservice .
Следует учесть момент, что если операционная система английская, то писать нужно не «Админ», а «Administrator». После этого следует быть нажата клавиша «Enter». Следующим этапом станет написание: net localgroup Администраторы /add localservice . (Administrators). В конце процедуры необходимо закрыть окно и выполнить перезагрузку компьютера. Если всё было сделано без ошибок, то Windows 10 код ошибки 5 больше не появится.
- Бывает, что помогает метод отключения или удаления антивируса и попытка выполнить запуск службы уже без него.
- Безотказно в решении проблемы работает переустановка ОС.
Windows 10 Системная ошибка 5
Настройки безопасности нередко выдают эту ошибку. Исправит её можно через реестр операционной системы. Для начала следует выяснить, как называется служба, не желающая запускаться. В списке служб нужно выбрать подходящую и найти строку «Имя службы». Её требуется запомнить и начать работу с реестром. Запуск Редактора реестра производится с помощью окна «Выполнить».
После этого ветка показывает список служб, расположенных по алфавиту. Находим нужно имя, кликаем правой кнопкой мыши и ищем строчку «Разрешения». Потом в настройках безопасности нужно настроить доступ в группах «Пользователи» и «Администраторы» для всех пользователей.
Бывают случаи, когда появляется ошибка Xapofx1 5 dll для Windows 10. Это происходит из-за отсутствия файла Xapofx1 5 dll. Сбой может влиять на процесс запуска игр, установку утилит или обновление драйверов. Такой файл относится к исполнительным библиотекам DLL. Причиной сбоя могут стать пиратские версии игр. Поэтому пользователю рекомендуется применять только лицензионный контент. Для исправления ошибки нужно переустановить систему.
Нередко пользователи Windows 10 после обновления винды или отдельных программ, например, Microsoft Office сталкиваются с тем, что появляется ошибка 0xc004f074, убрать которую с помощью одного клика по крестику не.
Причин, по которым не запускается Windows 10 несколько: удаление программного обеспечения, заражение ПК.
При работе ОС Windows 10 иногда появляются сбои, каждый из которых имеет свой номер. Сообщение об ошибке 0xc0000022 появляется на экране в виде окна.
