use a vbs script to call wscript.....

wscript.echo "message goes here"

save the above line in a file called something.vbs

..... this will display a pop up box requiring users to click ok to confirm they have read the message

apply the script to users to ensure the script displays when the user logs on

regards

Uh, or you could just use a group policy to have a message box appear at the login screen, before the person enters their authentication information (thus luring away those that could be up to no good).

When editing the users policy, goto Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Ineractive Login: Message title/text for users attempting to log on.

Mine says the folllowing:

Holy Wow.
