Can I change the text of the Shutdown Notice?

I've set up a 'Shutdown.exe' command to gracefully shutdown the NT4 Terminal Server once a week... which works fine. When it starts the shutdown sequence, it pops up a message to the users that the server is about to shut down ("System is shutting down in 60 seconds"). Is there a way to change that popup text to identify which server is shutting down, considering our users can be attached to several NT servers at any given time, and don't know which NT server is shutting down?

Thanks
 
If all your clients have messaging enabled, you could build a 'net send *' command with your own message to go out just before the shutdown command.

If everything seems to be going well: you don't have enough information.......
