Task Scheduler "Display a message" deprecated

[brentil]

When importing the AppLocker Popup Alert Task into Windows 2019 Task Scheduler the task as designed doesn't work because the Action type of "Display a message" has been deprecated. You can do the following instead now to provide popup information.

Action = Start a program Program/script = msg Add arguments = * Message to pop up

The * and a space before the message is important so that it sends to all interactive users otherwise you have to know the user to send to. I used the exact syntax from the previous popup and it works as expected here too.

@brentil Thanks for letting us know. We're trying to decide what we are going to do with this repository. I recommend checking out https://github.com/microsoft/AaronLocker
