Not sure, to be honest. I cut and pasted that comment from the link I provided. I was looking for a max size, and that was the only reference I saw.
That being said, our notice here is 505 characters long, so doesn't run into the 512 per line limit. The window that comes up, though, looks like it has plenty of room left, so I wonder if the limit has changed with the newer OSes. We run mostly 2008 machines, with fewer and fewer 2003 machines. On our desktops, we unfortunately still use Novell for logins, but we do use Novell's login message feature, so it can be done through Novell, also. >>> James Rankin <[email protected]> 3/30/2010 8:50 AM >>> Can you add carriage returns by doing it the GPO way? I've been hardcoring it into the Registry since NT4 came out, and I always end up adding the hex entry for CRLF (0D000A00) into the actual binary data in the Registry value. If there is an easier way of doing it, I'm going to feel like a right dodo. :-) On 30 March 2010 16:36, Joseph Heaton <[email protected]> wrote: > You can push this through GPO, with Windows Settings -> Security Settings > -> Local Policies/Security Options -> Interactive Logon.
