What does 'group' mean for net send *

[RJGiskard]

The help file for net send says that the * parameter 'sends the
message to all the names in your group.'

What exactly does 'group' mean in this context? Is it the primary
group of the user doing the net send? Is it all ip addresses in your
subnet?

I've tried a number of google searches to no avail.

Thanks!

Hi
It sends the message to all the computers that belong to the Work Group. As
defined by the Work Group setting of each computer.
