Re: logon banner

I googled logon banner. Guess I should have used logon "message". Anyway,
this article looks like it will do the trick.

Thanks, the first one is going to be helpful. I searched the KB (and
Googled) and didn't find that article. Must have been using the wrong
search terms. Thanks again!

Hi,

We're looking to implement a logon banner for the usual legal
reasons. Basically, anytime someone sits down at a corporate PC and
hits CTRL-ALT-DEL to log on we want them to be presented with a
dialogue box of legal text, and be forced to click on an OK button
before they can input their username and password.

Important notes:

1. The text we've been provided with is 35 lines with 1561
characters including spaces.

2. We have a mix of Windows 2000 and Windows XP clients this will
need to work on. The domain is a Windows Server 2003 domain in mixed
mode.

3. We'd like the message to be easily updateable.

I seem to see a few different ways to go about this. Is this
something that's accomplished by inputting the text in the domain
security policy on a domain controller in the option: "Interactive
Logon: Message Text for users attempting to log on"? That seems
logical, but I'm not sure if that actually accomplished what I'm
looking to accomplish.

Thanks in advance
