network policy message
 
ive seen some companies have these. Any ideas on how this is done? A text file with ability to enter on the <OK> button in a batch file & opened from local computer policy?

on windows? Its set via GPO's or via the registry.

Do a search for Legal Notice Caption..


Open your registry and find the appropriate key for your operating system.
Windows 95, 98 and Me:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Winlogon

Windows NT, 2000 and XP:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Modify the value named 'LegalNoticeCaption' to represent the caption on the dialog box (e.g. 'WARNING!'). If this value doesn't already exist create it.

Modify the value named 'LegalNoticeText' to represent the body of the dialog box (e.g. 'Do Not Attempt to Logon to this system unless you are an authorized user!')

Exit your registry and restart Windows, and the next time you boot up you should be presented with the dialog box before logging on.

Note: This value is limited to 256 characters, you need to install the latest Windows NT service pack to allow up to 1024 characters.
