Hi,
Your post is a little confusing. When a user changes their password, that password change must be replicated to all dc's in your domain. If your user attempts to log on and the authentication is attempted against a dc that has not yet received the update, you will see that authorisation message - it's a totally separate message from your legal notice. So, it's not that the legal notice has changed, it's that it's not being displayed in the first place because the logon attempt was unsuccessful....

thanks for replying---let me see if I can clear this up a little.
We have implemented the Logon Banner-Display Legal Warning message by using regedit modifying the leganl notice caption and text. This message pops up when they boot up from a power down and before they log on to the network (The message says something about, any unauthorized access, use, or modification to the computer system may result in disciplinary action, civil liability and/or criminal penalties. )

This message is pop up until the user that is running windows 2000 changes their password. After they change their password and reboot it will go back to the default "Do not attempt to log on unless you are an authorized user"

Why is the default message coming back?
