Interactive logon: Message text for users attempting to log on

Description
Specifies a text message that is displayed to users when they log on.

This text is often used for legal reasons, for example, to warn users about
the ramifications of misusing company information or to warn them that their
actions may be audited.

Default: No message.

Caution
* Windows XP Professional adds support for configuring logon banners that
can exceed 512 characters in length and that can also contain
carriage-return line-feed sequences. However, Windows 2000 clients cannot
interpret and display message text that is created by Windows XP
Professional computers. You must use a Windows 2000 computer to create a
logon message policy that applies to Windows 2000 computers. If you
inadvertently create a logon message policy using a Windows XP Professional
computer, and you discover that it does not display properly on Windows 2000
computers, do the following:
* Undefine the setting.
* Redefine the setting using a Windows 2000 computer.

Simply changing a Windows XP Professional-defined logon message policy using
a Windows 2000 computer does not work. The setting must be undefined first.

lol, Wes, you're a virtual cornucopia of good information! I read the first
post and smugly said to myself, "I can answer that one for him", and then
checked to be sure I wouldn't be "me too"ing someone, and opened your post.
I says to myself then, "Self, that looks like Wesley's post", and sure
enough ... .

Thanks; a very useful collection there!

Is "You're full of it" what you really meant? LOL

The "me too"ing only reinforces whatever the original replier posted. If
the OP sees four posts saying do X then do Y, then the OP can have a pretty
good idea that might be what they ought to do.

Replier sounds like a tool that I should have in my Klein bag. :-)
