Hi there,
I need to set up a message of the day & I don't want to spend any money!
I know that I could use Domain Security policy and create a crude Title &
Message there but this has to be something that an end user would be able to
change so it cuts that one out.
I have currently created a folder on a global share & that contains a Word
document which can be saved as an html file.
I've also created a shortcut to go into All Users/Start Menu/Program
Files/StartUp to run the html file.
Basically it works OK & apart from making the IE shortcut do a few things
(no navigation bar, smaller window size etc) I need to try and distribute the
shortcut - I could go to each machine (only 40 of them) but I don't want to
mod the logon script as other support is provided by a couple of 3rd parties.
Any ideas gratefully received - my scripting skills are low to non-existent!
