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.
