Logon Disclaimer

[Simon]

Don't know if anyone can assist....but i would like all
of our users to see a logon disclaimer after they press
ctrl/alt/del in the morning. We are currently loging onto
an NT4 domain but will soon be moving onto a Windows 2K
domain. I have been told that thre is a .dll file that
can be modified on each users PC. I do not want to have
to use the registry to show this message.

Cheers

Simon

Hi
See my site http://madhur.netfirms.com/trics.shtml .
Look for *NT undocumented Features* Section. Hope it helps.

Unfortunately the advice from your website is for
registry changes which ideally i would like to keep away
from as it is a pain to change every users registry!

 

[Simon]

Surely an even greater pain to have to modify a dll on each users PC?

not really cause i can modify the file on the logon
script which is what i do with other files at the moment.

Hi

If you can wait to you have moved to a Win2k domain, you can use a
Group Policy for this ("Message text for users attempting to log on"):

Note this one:

2313 » How do I control new lines in the Windows 2000 LegalNoticeText?

I shall use the advise from the google link and wait till
we move to the 2K domain which is only a matter of weeks
away.

Thanks

Tried the advise from the google website but when i tried
to logon to the domain no disclaimer message appeared,
any idea's why not?

Greetings --

Manually, Start > Run > Regedit.exe. Navigate to and modify as
desired:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\LegalNoticeCaption

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\LegalNoticeText.

As you're on a domain, you can also use group policies or a logon
script to accomplish this, rather than having to visit each
workstation.
