Hi Ed:
It's been awhile since I've used SBS, but doesn't it include Active
Directory? Do your W2k workstations belong to a domain or workgroup?
Double-click on System in Control Panel and select the Network
Identification tab to find out.
If your workstations belong to a workgroup you can do the following on each
workstation:
Start --> Run --> type gpedit.msc --> OK
This opens Local Security Policy. Now expand the tree to find Computer
Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policies, Security
Options. With Security Options selected you should be able to find these two
policies in the right pane:
Message text for users attempting to log on
Message title for users attempting to log on
Double-click on each of these and specify the message and message title you
want to appear when a user tries to log on e.g. "Warning! This computer is
government property" etc.
Log off and then on again and you should see the message
If your worksations belong to a domain then you can open the Active Diretory
Users and Computers console on the SBS machine by:
Start --> Run --> dsa.msc --> OK
right-click on your domain and select Properties, select the Group Policy
tab, select Default Domain Policy, click Edit, and then proceed as above.
Once Group Policy refreshes for the domain your workstations should display
the message.
HTH
