I have a startup script that runs on machines (not a login script, but a startup script). It occurs as the machine starts up. I was wondering if there was a way I could display a message in the startup box?

This is the area that displays "Preparing Network Connections...", "Applying Group Policy", "Installing Managed Software: Microsoft Office", or "Running Startup Scripts".

Obviously there is a hook somewhere to stick a message in there. Anybody know what this is?

I tested using KiXforms in a startup script and it worked a charm.

Yeah, that's plan B if this doesn't work. I just thought it would be kind of slick if you could integrate it into the normal AD stuff...

Is that the .NET Kixforms or the 2.46 NON .NET version?

I'm running the 2.46 and my forms don't show during startup. They work fine while logged in, but not at startup. I think I'll take this discussion over to the KixForms forum just so I'm not cross-posting all over the place.
