Support Request: Remote Shutdown - Display Message

Description

I cannot seem to figure out how to get sitekiosk to allow windows to display the built in message dialog that indicates when windows is counting down to shutdown.

For example, if you were to execute the following

shutdown /t 600 /c "The lab is closing" /r /d 4:1 /m \\Computer1

without sitekiosk a dialog will pop up on the computer explaining that the system is about to shut down because "The lab is closing".

With site kiosk installed the message does not appear.
When I check the logs, the logs indicate that SiteKiosk is definitely aware of the pending shutdown:

30 0000 2015-05-13 15:50:00 -0500 [SiteKiosk] Warning: System shutdown attempt (WM_QUERYENDSESSION). Abnormal program termination expected.
30 0000 2015-05-13 15:50:00 -0500 [SiteKiosk] Warning: System shutdown attempt (WM_ENDSESSION). Abnormal program termination expected.

however it does not allow the message to be displayed.
I was unable to locate any information that indicates that this window is blocked by the security settings either.

Does the machine shut down as intended and the dialog is not displayed?

SiteKiosk allows you to initiate automatic shutdown as well as the following features in the configuration wizard (Basic > Maintenance > System/Monitor settings):

- Restart
- Shut Down
- Monitors Off
- Monitors On
- Sleep
- Wake Up

Correct, the machine does shutdown as planned, after the specified time has expired. The dialog warning users does not display though, which would be nice to have.
