Caution
| • | Windows XP Professional adds support for configuring logon banners that can exceed 512 characters in length and that can also contain carriage-return line-feed sequences. However, Windows 2000 clients cannot interpret and display message text that is created by Windows XP Professional computers. You must use a Windows 2000 computer to create a logon message policy that applies to Windows 2000 computers. If you inadvertently create a logon message policy using a Windows XP Professional computer, and you discover that it does not display properly on Windows 2000 computers, do the following:
Simply changing a Windows XP Professional-defined logon message policy using a Windows 2000 computer does not work. The setting must be undefined first. |
