Bypass security banner with a script?

Hi Experts:

We have a network running server 2003. Most of our workstations are XP
(some are Vista). Our group policy has a security banner displayed at logon
that the user must acknowledge by mouse clicking "okay".

I have one computer (XP) that I have automatically logon. This process
works fine, but the computer gets hung up on the security banner. If I click
the "okay", the rest of the logon works automatically. Is there a way to
write a logon script or some other way to bypass this security banner
automatically?

I know I could remove this PC from the GP, but this would be a bit of a pain
because the GP is applied domain-wide. Any other solutions?

Thanks in advance

You are not the first to ask this... I cannot offer you much of a solution,
but can point you to the last time I saw it asked...

I haven't tried this but could you not add a Deny entry for 'Apply Group
Policy' to the GP security settings for this specific PC. You may also need
to delete the values 'legalnoticecaption' and 'legalnoticetext' from the
registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system
