How to set up Agree/Disagree window?

[John]

At my school each pupil now has individual login username and password. Each
time a PC is logged into I'd like to display the school IT policy, with two
pushbuttons -"I agree" and "I disagree" - displayed at the bottom. If the
user chooses "I disagree" the session ends and they are automatically logged
out.

How do I set one up?

You'll need someone to write a program. This isn't something that's native
to Windows XP.

You can set up a "Legal Notice Text" at logon - this only has OK and
Cancel, not Agree or Disagree; but is close to what you want.

You can configure this either by setting a Group Policy (this is best);
or, by configuring each workstation individually (much more work).

Hope it helps,

You know the kids aren't going to bother reading it, don't you?

In GPO you have logon/logoff scripts. Call the function in a vbs script from
there

Create a VBS file & paste the contents in:

If msgbox("Do you agree to our policy?", 4, "Our IT Policy") = 7 Then
' User cllicked no
' Logoff here
End If

Are these student of legal age? If not, you cannot enforce a contract with
an underaged student.

Just WHO paid for these computers or the access to them? Is this a public
school paid through taxes by the students or their parents? Is it a private
school with tuition paid by the students or parents? They already paid for
access to those resources that are to be included in the curriculum for the
class. They already paid for it. It's not your choice whether or not they
get to use it.

They paid their tuition. That constitutes the contract for use of the
resources provided in the curriculum for which they paid. Are you going to
submit pro-rata refunds each time the student disagrees with your amending
of that contract? Is access to these computers considered not included in
the curriculum for what the student paid? If so, each time the student uses
that rented resource means they have to separatenly pay for it - and
contracts occur during the exchange of payment, not amended later at-will by
one party. Make them sign the waiver when they pay to use the rented
resource.

Don't be silly. People don't read these and it only succeeds in slowing
down the login process.

Learn to provide fast efficient service and cut the crap as much as
possible.

Now this must be the overkill on the net. This idiot didn't even read the
OP's query and instead gave us a lecture on what a contract is and all the
shit that goes with it.

Children these days know more about porn and less about legalese monkey!

You've got several suggestions. However, I agree with those who say this
effort is unnecessary. I taught computer classes for 20 years at a
community college and we never had the students go beyond a user
name/password login in the labs to get started.

If you are really concerned, get them to sign a one-time written
agreement at the start of each semester agreeing to the lab policies.
