For whatever reason, when I apply the message in GPMC the computers I applied
it to don't ever display the legal message before login, or at all.

I have the option enabled in my GPO, and the computer is also in the OU, and
I also added the computer to the list of stuff it affects in the GPMC
console, but still no results even after a restart.

What am I doing wrong?

Linked to the OU or above it (with inheritence), yes?

OK - that's all you should need to do

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310430

One common mistake is not using the "Message Title" setting as well as the
"Message text" one - you need both. Also, you can't use carriage returns in
the body of the text. Keep it short & sweet.

Running rsop.msc and/or gpresult on a client should tell you what else might
be wrong.

In the future, you should post stuff like this in
microsoft.public.windows.group_policy for the most expert help.
