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? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Yakir, Ronen Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2004 12:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Setting \winlogon\welcome by ADM 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.

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.
