Default How to set up a reminder for an event?

OK this seems like it should be simple. I am an Exchange 2003 admin,
all our users are running Outlook 2003.

Our building power is being shut down and I want to remind all users 2
hours prior to the event which takes place over 5 hours that they
should shut down their computers.

It isn't a "meeting" - I dont want people to "attend", or to accept or
reject anything, I just want a reminder to pop-up in their outlook at
the scheduled time. What is the best way of going about this?

Rather than relying on messaging, and individual users to power down,
you can handle this with a script or with the shutdown -i command.
This is the best option, as it doesn't rely on individuals having their
email open. That is, if you're on XP with the desktop.
Alternatively, send out a global email with a formal "announcement".
Lastly, if you're relying on the 'pop' up ability of the reminder, I
would use the messenging service (again - XP) - and again, that way it
avoids reliance on the one application (outlook) being open.
