Need a popup alert window before a job

Ok, here's what I need, and I was hoping someone could help me out or point me in the right direction.

Right now we're doing a massive rollout, uninstalling Groupwise and Installing Outlook 07. I have a job that runs perfectly, but I would like some sort of popup "windows alert" type of thing that says something to the effect of "We're installing Outlook on your computer and it will be automatically restarted in 5 minutes. Please save all your work right away, otherwise it will be lost."

I've had some complaints because people lost some of the stuff they were working on. I sent out MANY e-mails leading up to the install, and told people to LEAVE YOUR LAPTOP AT YOUR DESK, DOCKED, AND TURNED ON so that I could push out the job. Like users do, several of them ignored what I said and took their laptops home over the weekend...which means it kicked off first thing monday morning. I have about 500 more people to do, and I'd like to be able to give them ANOTHER warning before the restart is forced on them.

Thanks!
