No, Geoff/Dale, the best solution is for management to notify their employees as to correct policy and then manage them appropriately. Computers make poor babysitters.

A pop-up window when they first logon would be the best solution. I had forgot that you could do that. Thanks for the input.

We used to pop up a "This is state property and we're watching you yadda yadda, we'll prosecute you if you commit a crime" that they had to click through, starting with Win95. If you're interested I'll go find one of our old policies and tell you what those keys are. Not handy right now, though. In a Win2k GPO it's at Computer Config - Windows Settings - Security Settings - Local Policies - Security Options, then there are two pertinent options to enable for this message: Message text for users attempting logon Message title for users attempting logon I think all of the above and below are silly. I think managers should manage, and upper management should hold them responsible to do it. -----Original Message----- From: Dale Edwards [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 10:47 AM Posted To: MSExchange Mailing List Conversation: Disclaimer Subject: RE: Disclaimer And supplying a disclaimer going out to the Internet is different, like HOW? Do you think every person would receive Internet mail from a company needs to be reminded that what is written inside the email is not necessarily the opinions of the Company? I never thought you were attacking me. However, it is not my decision, as a Consultant for this company, to say no, but to provide an answer to Management on whether or not it can be done, and is it feasible. I have already told them it would create additional hardware needs, due to the disclaimer being in EVERY email. They just asked what would be the easiest way to implement it, if the need arose. My job as a Consultant is to supply them with that information. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
