One of my friends figured that out a few days after someone sent a net send message to * (they got away with that one by logging in as another user who wasn't in the room before the IT staff VNCed into the machine to see who it was). We ended up getting messages from "GOD" for a while before net set was disabled entirely. One of the teachers knew about this, and his only comment was "if you're going to mess around with this, don't get caught".

A group of people did get caught messing around with the network a while later, but only after they'd privesced their way to a domain admin account, then screwed up with a script that reset a bunch of local admin passwords rather just the one they wanted. Somehow, the existence of a new domain admin account didn't get spotted for weeks before that.
