Hello,

is there a character limit on the Logon Message text
displayed at stratup...we recently made changes to it and
it is not being fully displayed...i checked the local
policy and the policy is incomplete. When i edit the
Domain policy, all of the text is there...

HELP!

thanks
 
You are referring to the "Message text for users attempting to log on"
security option, correct? In Windows 2000 the limit is 512 characters.
However, if you are going over the 512 character limit I thought it also
appeared shortened in the Group Policy Object (at least on Windows 2000) .
Are you working in a mixed 2000/XP/2003 environment? (If so, see the caution
here:

Have you tried recreating the message text and ensuring there are no
"non-printable" characters like the carriage-return/line-feed in there?
