Stumped on how to create a logon message on Windows network.

[jvang125]

I need to create a login script or such that displays a message whenever a user logons onto the network. This particular message is about using the computers for official use only and not for personal agendas. This will need to be created on a Win2000 server so all users will get the message.

Can someone give me a brief step by step on how I can accomplish this? thanks.

You should be able to setup a group policy to achieve this (There should be a GPO that is for "logon message
" or something similar.)

Group Policy can do this. Either on individual computers or as part of a domain.

Open the GPO, and navigate to this policy:

Computer Cofinguration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options

Now edit the key named "Interactive logon: Message text for users attempting to log on". You can also set the title of the dialog box using this key "Interactive logon: Message title for users attempting to log on"
