Is there a way to have people read a terms and agreement statement before they login with the novell client. Something like they have to agree with the agreement by typing in there user name and password. this would be great if you could help me out on this one alot.

The only thing that comes to mind is a feature in Windows policy editor that allows you to display a message in a dialog box each time the user logs on. However there is only an "OK" button and no "Agree" or "Disagree" like you wanted the user to agree to a terms of service.

Sounds like a question for the guys at ZENworks Cool Solutions (http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/zenworks/).

If what you're trying to do is get everyone to agree to a computer policy, do this: Send out the policy via email to all your users. Require them to print out and sign a paper saying they agree to it. Give them two weeks to respond. The users that don't respond, get their Novell accounts disabled until they do (You can do this easily in Netware Administrator). Or revoke their internet access. Or make them look at hideous wallpaper, or force their color scheme to "Fluorescent Green".....

Any new employees don't get their Netware account enabled until you get the signed paper for your files. I do this with all new employees at our office. Otherwise I forget to get them to sign it.

I found this TID from Novell that basically says what you're looking for doesn't exist and it has been submitted as an enhancement request.

However, if you could find a utility for displaying a message in a dialog box, you could put THAT into the login script....

What OS are the clients running? What you need to do is run Policy editor and force a login. Create a VB program that displays a text file and has and agree or disagree button - if they select agree it exits if they disagree it shutsdown the pc - the policy editor can also be used to run once this program - so that it only runs when the user first logs in - you could also add it to the registry and then remove itself from the run part fo the registry when they agree, but not remove it if they disagree.

Should be fairly simple to write and work flawlessly.
