It would be nice with a function to send out urgent messege to all computers from NS or deployment.
För example when you need to push out a message that say that is some sort of problem, who the users need to know about
maybe logout or that the e-mail server is down.

There was a plugin I found a while ago that integrates into DS like this. It pushes a message bar (above the users default Windows taskbar) to the system and displays messages. I can't find it now though. I created a HTA using VBScript that pops up for the users. The message, etc are all command-line arguments within the DS job. This has been massively helpful. I agree though, if the "Aclient" and/or "Dagent" can receive the message and display it to the users... that would be a much better solution. I like the idea of this being built in +1.
AlertManage
Murray,
I think the plugin you're thinking of is "AlertManage" by Expressability (formerly called "DSAlert" and "LongLasso"). You can see more information about it here:
