unique settings for SSmarque

[grebnetso]

I'm trying to setup a very basic marque message but have it go out to the whole domain. I can setup the SS executable in GP but how can I set it up with unique settings and then have them show up on the rest of the domain. Right now if I configure the marque on say my file server and then go and map the GPO to it I still get place your text here. Any help would be nice. Thanks.

the best I've been able to come up with is creating a *.reg file with the unique settings for both .default user and hkcurrent user that reflects the settings. Then have it pushed with the logon script. This will work for now but if someone else has a better idea I'd love to hear it.

Actually that is the best solution, however I set the registry settings via script rather than a reg file.
