What I've seen is that the key you've listed below is populated when I
set local policy on a machine that is part of a domain, but I'm not connected
to the domain. My guess is that this is Windows' way of preventing a
disconnected user from overriding domain policy by simply setting it locally
when they're offline. Are you setting this policy in a local GPO and if so,
are you connected to the domain when you set it?

[ActiveDir] Setting \winlogon\welcome by ADM
Hi
What I see is the the following key is generated
when I set the policy
in the gpo
mmc
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group
Policy
Objects\{15087322-E2C5-4C7A-902A-E813FA21EB66}Machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft
\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"Welcome"=hex(2):25,00,63,00,6f,00,6d,00,70,00,75,00,74,00,65,00,72,00,6
e,00,\
61,00,6d,00,65,00,25,00,00,00
But after that, the actual registry key
(Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\currentversion\Winlogon\welcome) is not
created and the value is not
set.
Does this key needs to be setup
by the policies
regkey
(hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\system)
or
directly?

Ok. I'm not sure I understand what
you're seeing. You say that the
"group policy objects reg key is being
updated". Does that mean you see
it appearing in the GPO Editor UI as
being enabled but when you process
the GPO, it does not get stamped on
the workstation's registry?
If so, this might be a separate problem.
Can you run Gpresult on the
workstation and see what it
returns?

Hi
Only tested it today.
Well
- it does not work.
The ADM template is loading, the group policy
objects reg key is being
updated.
But, the actual desired registry
key is not affected (after secedit.
Logoff and
logon)

Hi-
I think this might work. Give it
a go. I made the assumption that you
wanted %computername% to be resolved
to the actual machinename. If not,
then go ahead and remove the
EXPANDABLETEXT keyword.
CLASS MACHINE
CATEGORY "set
welcome"
POLICY "Display Computer
Name"
KEYNAME
"Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\currentversion\Winlogon"
PART "Enter Message:" EDITTEXT
EXPANDABLETEXT
DEFAULT
"%computername%"
VALUENAME
"Welcome"
END PART
END
POLICY
END CATEGORY

Hi
I am trying to set the
\software\microsoft\windows
nt\currentversion\winlogon\welcome key so
that the text will appear in
the alt-ctrl-del screen.
Doing so
directly works, but not by gpo.
This is the adm I have
tried:
================================
CLASS MACHINE
CATEGORY
"set welcome"
POLICY "Display Computer Name"
KEYNAME
"Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\currentversion\Winlogon"
PART "Computer
name"
VALUENAME "Welcome"
Value text "%computername%"
END
PART
END POLICY
END
CATEGORY
==================================
But no
success
Any help?
Thanks
Ronen
