Add a Login Message in Windows Server 2012Let's say that you had a requirement to show a login message before someone logged into the computer. Maybe something like, "Hi, system usage is monitored, recorded, and subject to audit. By using the system, you grant consent to such monitoring and recording. Unauthorized use is prohibited and subject to criminal and civil penalties."
To be clear, this message shows before anyone logs into the computer and before the LOGIN BOX shows.
