logon banner

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

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!

Re: logon banner

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