Re: Custom WinLogon message

Fair enough. I guess at this point I am looking for any way that will work.
Also, I am not real sure how many different ways there are of accomplishing
this - either a .reg file that contains such characters so as to preserve the
hex edits or a script to do it. If a script can be put together to do this, I
would do it in VBScript. But no, if someone provided a script in a language I
wasn't expecting or it was provided because I failed to specify what I was
using, I would do my best to translate it as I love to code anyway - even if
I need some help doing that.

Thanks,
James

at the language and they guess wrong, will you tell them they are wrong or
will you apologize for not being specific? I have unfortunately seen replies
telling someone that there answer won't work but the only way to know what
would work is if the person trying to help is psychic.

Or you can simply specify the language you are using.

Hello -

I am trying to create a custom WinLogon message for about 100 servers
globally. The message will be consistent across all servers.

Basically I know how to create a WinLogon message; however the uniqueness
I
am having issues with is creating a custom message with line
breaks/carriage
returns. The end result of my goal is to have 2 or more paragraphs to
promote
readability.

Currently, the way I do this is edit the registry in binary mode and and
the
hex codes manually to create the carriage returns - this works fine, for a
single server.

What I need is a way to be able to create a base script that contains my
message as well as the carriage returns so I can push this custom message
out
globally. All attempts thus far have basically removed the carriage
returns
when I try to apply a script. Even exportings a registry key that contains
the hex codes and applying to another server does not preserve them.

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,
James
