Where can I find the info about the machine like the hostname, status, date so I can put them in the script and use it for the winpopup message? I'm still a newbie and I'll appreciate more if you can give me examples..
Thanks again.

Good day!
Is it possible to receive alerts with information through winpopup message?
You can have an alert call a script, so if you write the script the answer is yes :)
The core command you're looking for is in the samba suite - "smbclient -M <HOST>", to send a message of "Goodbye" to machine "wassit" you'd do:
echo "Goodbye" | smbclient -M wassit
A quick Google for "samba winpopup" provided a few dozen examples.
