DS 7.5 - Deploy message box during post image tasks

Hello everyone,

Using DS 7.5 and have imaging pretty well nailed down and working well via PXE. One thing I would like to do to helo the technicians imaging workstations would be to have a message box that pops up and tells them what's going on. It doesn't need to be elegant.

I did try a few things with AutoIT and also using HTA files, but they seem a little clunky and never seem to run right via tasks. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Todd
