According new company policies I need to have a message screen popping up everytime the computer is booted. I have already placed the message in the login script but the computers using the microsoft client for netware are not able to see this message. Is there a way to have these computers to show the message while using the Microsoft client for netware??? (I´m not allowed to use client32 since the company´s main system has some incompatibility with it)
 
I have also thought of editing the autoexec.bat but I think it´ll take just too long to perform the editing in 50+ machines. There should be a login script file which could be loaded in all machines every time it´s started.
Your kind help will be highly appreciated!!!
 
In the registry under the following key, you can add a text message that appears before the login box every time the PC boots:

HKEY_LOCAL__MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Create a string value called LegalNoticeCaption (exactly as I have typed it) with the value data being the message of your choice. I know this works on NT and above, do not know about Windows 9x -----------------------------------------------------
