What is a Logon Banner?
A Logon Banner is a short message written by the system administrator that is displayed before any users are allowed to get to the logon prompt of their operating system. Usually it pops up as a dialog box and requires the user to click OK before they can continue. Logon Banners inform users about there rights before using the system, so typically you would find these in a school or business setting.
Creating a logon banner can be done by editing your registry. Please make sure you backup your registry before making any changes as even the most experienced person can run into problems when editing the registry.
To create a logon banner, follow this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Values:
LegalNoticeCaption = "The local policy caption text."
LegalNoticeText = "The local policy body of the banner."
