I know how to enable the service for our network, but I want to know if it's still "dangerous" from a security perspective. We're on a LAN protected by hardware firewalls and we only want to use the service internally for those times when someone's IM program of choice is not logged in or out of commission at the moment. It's times like those when "NET SEND" comes in handy. However, I have to remotely manage the target's services, enable the service on both machines, use the service, then disable the service on both machines. WAY too many steps. I'd like to keep the service turned on permanently but don't want to do it if it's a security risk. Most of the articles I find about the issue were written back in 2003 about an exploit that made a news splash. Is it really a vulnerability on a secured LAN in the year 2008 with updated machines?
