Click the Options button.
To display a warning message before the task occurs:

Tick the 'Display a warning...' box.
At the 'Warning text' field, type the warning message that will be displayed at the computer before the task occurs.
At the 'Warning duration' field, specify how long the warning text will be displayed at the computer.

If you wish to refresh the computer's security if a user is logged on, ensure the box is ticked.
If you wish to refresh the computer's security if the computer is locked, ensure the box is ticked.
If you wish to turn the computer on to refresh the security, tick the box.
Under Disconnected Computers, define what you want to do if the target computer is disconnected from the network.
Click OK to close the Task Options window.
