Guest Phil McNeill Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 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

Guest Phil McNeill Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Re: logon banner 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!

Guest Phil McNeill Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Re: logon banner I googled logon banner. Guess I should have used logon "message". Anyway, this article looks like it will do the trick.
