I am having a problem launching a notification for end user to see before an application is to be loaded. I found a script to do just the job but it would not lauch . It is scheduled to execute first then the app will begin once they click ok. I used cscript.exe file.vbs in the package and it is not working . If ran manually it will work and yes I am using an account with sufficient right in sccm to run the program. Can some look at this script and let me know how to implement this properly.

Set WshShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
set oEnv = WshShell.Environment("PROCESS")
oEnv("SEE_MASK_NOZONECHECKS") = 1
WshShell.Popup "The Adobe Reader 8 Installation will now begin." & VBLF & "Please save your work and close all open programs." _
& VBLF & "After Installation your workstation will reboot." & VBLF & "Click OK to begin installation.", 3600," sample", 0 + 64

oEnv.Remove("SEE_MASK_NOZONECHECKS")
wscript.quit

I was trying to use a script similar to this to notify the user when the install was finished.
I’m currently using 2003. I saw the same thing as you, when run manually it works perfect but when run through SMS it wouldn’t popup. The problem is its running under the System account and not the user account so the user will never see it. There are ways to imitate the user so they could see it however I haven’t found a way to get it to work yet.

If you are running using LocalSystem and you want the user to interact you need to check the Program option (Environment dialog); "Allow users to interact...".

Hope this helps.
