Describes the best practices, location, values, management, and security considerations for the Interactive logon: Message text for users attempting to log on security policy setting.

Reference

The Interactive logon: Message text for users attempting to log on and Interactive logon: Message title for users attempting to log on policy settings are closely related.

Interactive logon: Message text for users attempting to log on specifies a text message to be displayed to users when they sign in.

Interactive logon: Message title for users attempting to log on specifies a title to appear in the title bar of the window that contains the text message. This text is often used for legal reasons, for example, to warn users about the ramifications of misusing company information or to warn them that their actions may be audited.

When these policy settings are configured, users will see a dialog box before they can sign in to the server console.

Policy management

None. Changes to this policy become effective without a device restart when they're saved locally or distributed through Group Policy.

Security considerations

This section describes how an attacker might exploit a feature or its configuration, how to implement the countermeasure, and the possible negative consequences of countermeasure implementation.

There are two policy settings that relate to sign-in displays:

The first policy setting specifies a text message that displays to users when they sign in, and the second policy setting specifies a title for the title bar of the text message window. Many organizations use this text for legal purposes; for example, to warn users about the ramifications of misuse of company information, or to warn them that their actions may be audited.

Vulnerability

Users often don't understand the importance of security practices. However, the display of a warning message before signing in may help prevent an attack by warning malicious or uninformed users about the consequences of their misconduct before it happens. It may also help reinforce corporate policies by notifying employees of appropriate policies during the sign-in process.

Countermeasure

Configure the Interactive logon: Message text for users attempting to log on and Interactive logon: Message title for users attempting to log on settings to an appropriate value for your organization.

Potential impact

Users see a message in a dialog box before they can sign in to the server console.
