Policy Splash screen for Novell & Windows servers

[ataylor44]

Can anybody point me in the right direction.I have been given the assignment to either create or through 3rd party software put out a Security Policy telling users that they are accessing a County network at login and we need it to have them click yes that they understand this.I have tried the Novell login and it looks pretty cheeze although it does work.I would like a full page one that looks nice.This should work with Novell as well with Windows servers without going to all 500 users workstations.We are running Novell 4.2 and Windows NT4 and Win2000 servers.Thanks in advance.

The NWELCOME.BMP file that gets installed as part of the Novell Client can be overwritten with a bitmap of your choice, however there is no option to click ok to confirm acceptance.

You can use the following registry key which will be diskpayed before the client and the user has to click Ok as an acceptance of the conditions laid out in your message:

Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/WindowsNT/WinLogon

Create a String Value called LegalNoticeCaption (exact case) and place a caption name in there (eg. Legal Notice). Create another String Value called LegalNoticeText and populate that with your message. -----------------------------------------------------

I have tried that too and that seems to work but we are still needing to go to every workstation to set that up or am I missing something.

Go a registry file and get the login script to add it during login. Login script entry could look something like this (providing users have rights to write to the registry of course!):

#regedit /s z:\regfile.reg -----------------------------------------------------
"It's true, its damn true!"
