Re: Logon Message

[Michelle Mueller <muellerm () MTMARY EDU>]

We use Group Policy through Active Directory to do this.  When a user
hits ctrl+alt+del to log in, the logon message comes up.  They have to
click ok to get passed it.

This policy setting is located in \Computer settings\Windows
Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options.  The
policies are called "Message title for users attempting to log on" and
"Message text for users attempting to log on"
