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. w wrote: OK this seems like it should be simple.
