NT \ create login message from server

[JeanneD]

Where I used to work they had a message popped up when you went to login that stated their acceptable use policy and you had to agree every time before you could go on the network.
How do you set this up from the NT server? I want to do it at the school district I work for.
TIA

You would have to impliment system policies for the domain.
Use Admin tools for NT policy editing and poledit for win9x (you can add it from 'add/ remove programs') on a win9x machine.

There are some help files associated with the editors. The setting you want is under 'login banner'.

Either put the policy file into the netlogin folder on a PDC or BDC, or write a login script to copy the policy to the clients at logon.
http://www.elkantler.net/security/security.htm has a fairly comprehensive guide to poledit.
