RE: [ActiveDir] Windows 2000 startup screen

[Rimmerman, Russ]

Title: Message

Yes, and this is what our external auditors dinged us on too.  But when the top execs started having to click OK they complained and said the auditors work for us and made us shut it off.  Go figure.  So now we're back to the background splash at login bmp.  But it appears only BMP is supported from my testing.

As an aside, I can see how having a message pop up is good because by clicking OK, the user has indicated that they have read the warning.  If you just have a splash screen, a user could quite easily say they never read the warning (unless it is explicitly stated that by logging on you accept the conditions of the warning on the splash screen).

That's legal notice caption text which our top execs didn't like because they had to click "OK" (its so difficult!)

So now we're replacing the startup splashscreen with a legal notice BMP.  I know which registry key does it now in Winxp and win2k, but I am trying to see if I can use a JPG or if it MUST be a BMP.

Russ,

 

As Kathrine advised or registry entry, see below...your choice:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

; Add Legal Notice Caption & Legal Notice
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"LegalNoticeCaption"="WARNING -  DODGY AUTHORISED USERS ONLY "
"LegalNoticeText"="Any unauthorised access or use of this workstation is prohibited and could be subject to claims for damages and/or penalties at law.  To protect this system from unauthorised use and to ensure that it is functioning properly, activities on it are monitored and recorded and subject to audit.

Russ,

You can do this through GPO by changing the following settings:

Interactive logon: message text for users attempting to logon
Interactive logon: message title for users attempting to logon

The are found in the following location within the GPO editor: Computer
Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security
Options

Thanks to all who helped me with the GC Disaster recovery issue!!!

Now, I've been asked to replace all the Windows 2000 and XP startup
splash
screens (the one you see in the background when you hit ctrl-alt-del.
We're
going to have our legal notice there since our top dogs don't like the
legal
notice GPO.  Question is, is there a GPO for this, and if not, is there
a
registry entry or something we can automate on login?

I know XP's solution is here http://www.updatexp.com/tip12.html
What about Win2000?  Any easy ways to do this?
