I am currently developin a Java application that is capable of
shutting down computers. I would like to send a message to the
computers to be shutdown a five minute warning so users are aware
that the computers are being shutdown. Is there a way that I can
send a message a remote computer on a network.

No need to invent this wheel. Examples of existing solutions, there
may be others:

net send
cpop/jpop
winpopup/linpopup

Several of the windows-specific mechanisms are also available on other
platforms through the samba suite.

As I seem to have found out net send only works if you know what users
are currently logged in and is primarily used for servers.

I would like to send the warning message to Windows XP Computers that
are attached to the domain.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you
