so let me understand this: you are being asked to not notify the users
that they should not interrupt a process because if they did they
would increase the entropy of the windows workstations?

Are they also asking to remove the messages of updates being applied
to the machines by windows update and group policy? Because this is a
similar message.

How are you supposed to do your job as an admin if you can be easily
sabotaged? :-)

Of course some people will shutdown their pc's even after reading the
message on screen ..., but then you can tell them off for breaking
that pc :) and just reinstall it with
unattended/ris/opsi/altiriswhatever + wpkg and be up and running in no
time again.
