Legal Notice (User Management)

Legal Notice

The Legal Notice object allows a company-wide logon banner or notice to be centrally configured. This notice must be acknowledged by pressing the Ok button. The legal notice is displayed on the client prior to actually logging on to the domain. The Legal Notice differs from Message Boxes, in that it is displayed before the user authenticates to the domain. This provides a way for the company to spell out or remind staff of company policies regarding use of the computer network, email, Internet access, etc.

Since displaying a legal notice would interfere with the automatic logon process, the Legal Notice will NOT be applied to any 2008//7/8.1/10/2008 R2/2012/2012 R2/2016/2019 computer if the computer has AutoAdminLogon enabled.
