The echo worked fine. Do you know if you can set it to display without
having to press ok, so I can just display the message with a timeout each
time.?

You can use the Popup method of the wshShell object. For example:

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

intAns = objShell.Popup("Please standby..", 10, "Logon Script", vbOKOnly +
vbInformation)

The parameters are message text, timeout in seconds, title, and
buttons/icons. However, script processing stops until the user either
presses OK, or the timeout expires. If you ask a question and use vbYesNo,
for example, Popup returns which button was selected.

We used this in a GPO setting to run Logon/Logoff scripts so we could
provide a way of know what extension no people were on in a hot desking
environment.

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Popup "Logging on...", 1, "Welcome", vbInformation

Which displays the popup for 1 second - no user interaction reqd.
