When any computer (including servers) in our domain starts up, a "warning message" appears that says "you cant login if youre not an authorized user, etc". You must then click ok to make it disappear. You arent given anywhere to put user name and password until you tell the warning message ok. This is a great security precaution but we have a server that will not start its services until after the warning box goes away. This server runs phone services on it and that could potentially lead to lost calls if nobody is immediatly arround to hit the ok button for the warning message. This is a WinNt environment.

Any computer that joins our domain gets the "warning message". If the computer is taken off the domain, it still gets that warning message everytime it starts up, so it seems to change something in the registry of the computers.
Ideas?
 
The dialog box is the legal notice dialog. It should not be preventing any services from starting, if it is there are other issues to look at such as service groups and dependencies. But, to disable the dialog you can go to the following key, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Winlogon and remove values named LegalNoticeCaption and LegalNoticeText.
