Display Message
The Display Message task enables you send a message to a managed device. The message will be displayed on the screen to inform the user.
•Windows - The message is displayed as a notification.
|
In Windows, the Display Message Client Task uses the command msg.exe which is present only in Windows Professional/Enterprise editions. As a result, you cannot use this task to display a message on a client computer running Windows Home edition. |
•macOS and Linux - The message is displayed only in a terminal.
|
To see the message in macOS or Linux, you first need to open the terminal. |
Select one of the following options to create a new Client Task:
•Click Tasks > New > 
Client Task.
•Click Tasks > select the desired task type and click New > Client Task.
•Click the target device in Computers and select 
Tasks > New Task.
Basic
In the Basic section, type basic information about the task, such as a Name and Description (optional). Click Select tags to assign tags.
