Title
The Legal Notice is not being displayed on Client Machines -
Description
The Legal Notice is not being displayed on Client Machines -
Cause
A Group Policy setting may cause the Legal Notice not to be displayed by preventing the registry values from being written to the proper location in the registry. -
Resolution
Disable the GPO controlling the text message and text body for the legal notice at the domain level via group policy or at the local workstation level via gpedit.msc. This can be accomplished on a workstation via gpedit.msc by navigating to Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options. Configure the "Interactive Logon: Message text for users attempting to logon" and the "Interactive Logon: Message title for users attempting to logon." settings. These policies are blank by default.
Note: The registry location for the Legal Notice is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. The 2 registry string values are "LegalNoticeCaption" and "LegalNoticeText".
