Windows 2000 logon disclaimer comma problem

[buck614]

All of my networking buddies have this problem and we cannot find an
answer anywhere.

I have sucessfully added a title and message to my domain group policy
to show a logon disclaimer when any user logs on the domain.

The problem is, that it is deleting the space after any comma.

For instance, if I type:
Welcome to company X. All data, including web access can be monitored.

It shows up like this:
Welcome to company X. All data,including web access can be monitored.

It doesn't delete any spaces other than a space immediately following a
comma.

When I type it in in the 'Message text for users attempting to log on',
it appears correctly, even after I say OK. But If I go right back in
and view the group policy, it will show the space removed again.

Other than that, the logon disclaimer shows up on all domain computers
fine.
Can anyone help me with this? ALL of us are having the same problem.

You need to write a computer startup script that applies the registry key.
For example, my site went with a VBS file that add both fields because we
needed carriage returns and commas.

WOW.

That is it thank you.

You have to put double quotes (") around the entire message and it will
save the comma spaces.

Great!

I had never noticed this before, and then after reading that article,
I logged off and back onto my computer. The company where I am also
has a message come up at C-A-D. Sure enough, it was full of commas
without spaces after them. All network admins should be as observant
as you are. :]
