This solution will work for W2K and XP using AD

this simple script will display the info
' begin script

Dim strCompanyInfo
  strCompanyInfo = "  Your company here"  + chr(13)
  strCompanyInfo = strCompanyInfo + "    address here"  + chr(13)
  strCompanyInfo = strCompanyInfo + " contwact info here"  + chr(13)
  strCompanyInfo = strCompanyInfo + "put disclaimer here"  + chr(13)
  msgbox(strCompanyInfo)

' end script

The slightly more difficult part of this is Using GPedit on the local machine or having a network admin set the policy via the OU (Organizational Unit) in AD (Active Directory) to set the Startup/logon script to run.

If you want it to run when the PC boots up (before logon) copy the file to
(Windir)\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Startup
and then set the following policy
Computer Configuration - Windows Settings - Scripts (Startup/Shutdown) - Startup


If you want it to run after the user logs on copy the file to
(Windir)\system32\GroupPolicy\User\Scripts\Logon
and then set the following policy
User Configuration - Windows Settings - Scripts (Logon/Logoff) - Logon

Good Luck
