Compaq CIM UG Overwrites Legal Notice

We discovered today that during Compaq Insight Manager upgrades to v4.23b they overwrite the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\LegalNoticeCaption and LegalNoticeText with a message to continue the installation after reboot. When the installation is completed after rebooting, these keys are cleared and your legal notice is gone. If your security policies are reliant on legal notices this is not a good thing. We will open an incident with Compaq in the morning but I felt this might be something folks should be aware of immediately since I have not seen it reported elswhere.
