  RJL Software - Software - Utility - Message Manager Deluxe

Message Manager Deluxe is the only login script messaging utility on the 
market today. There is no other software product that can compare to the 
features our product offers. This Deluxe version is intended for network 
login script usage, it supports Novell, NT, Windows 2000, 2003, 2008 login 
script implementations. We also integrate well with the KiXtart scripting 
language. If you ever wanted to share information with users across your 
network or department, this product is the one for you. For example you 
could display a company privacy or usage policy weekly to users when they 
log in to their machines. If they choose YES they may continue, otherwise 
you can shutdown the computer. The possibilites are endless with Message 
Manager Deluxe.

I'd think this could be easily coded in a VBS startup script.

Check network folder, if a file exists in this folder, display it.

heck, that can be done in a simple DOS Batch file.

Yup, you can certainly set KiX to only display a message on certain days and 
then nothing on other days.  I think you’d need to use an array (something I 
don’t know how to do) to accomplish what you’re looking for. It’s very 
straightforward to have to do something like say “Good afternoon Tom Miller, 
happy Friday!” with “Afternoon”, “Tom Miller” and “Friday” being variables that 
auto-change depending on time of day, day of week, and full name of the user 
logging in.
Having it display on every other Friday or something is a bit more work, but 
probably easy for the KiX pros. I’m just intermediate at it myself.

Subject: Scheduled message to user

Hi Folks:

I am looking for a utility or a method to provide my users a periodic message 
upon logon.  We currently use Zenworks and I schedule this throughout the year 
for specific days (time sheet approval days).  Currently on specific days a web 
page opens with an announcement, message, etc.  I can script opening a web 
page, but need the scheduler.  We're moving to SCCM, but so far I don't see 
that option.

Suggestions?  I'd like something were I can set the days to run and forget 
about it until next year.

Tom
