acmp acmp Getting the hang of it Registered: 2004-07-02 Posts: 69 Loc: Bingham, Nottinghamshire, Engl...	hi All, I use KixWin to display our PC Acceptable Use Policy when people log in and it works just fine. But I want to update things a bit, and the AUP just got a whole lot longer. So I went looking for the latest version of KixWin and I just can't fine it. I am assuming that KixWin is not more, so what do you recommend I use? I need to display a short HTML document that links to a 11 page PDF. Ideally the login process will wait until the script finishes as I need the users to click message boxes to agree to the documents. I'm all windows, from XP to Win7 in a AD domain. I use GPOs to call the required scripts, i just need a robust method for displaying the HTML and PDF Thanks in advance for the ideas... _________________________ Every day is a school day

It requires an extra DLL to be registered but this can be done easily with a GPO that deploys the package. Have a look at the kixforms website. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

I use kixforms quite a bit for other stuff, but I can't see how to use it to display a web page and PDF. Unfortunately the documents need to keep the complicated formatting as they are part of our Standing Instructions. I have tried a rich text box and dump an RTF into it (and html) but it just isn't good enough. If there isn't a viable solution I may need to go to management and ask for leniency :-$ _________________________ Every day is a school day

When a user hits ctl-alt-del it pops up a window before giving the user a chance to logon.

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4401 Loc: New Jersey	The standard windows Acceptable Use simply shows "OK" - once you click OK, you're in. You have no opportunity to disagree, other than walking away. A home-grown approach can provide an "Agree/Disagree" option. Agree and you're in, disagree and you're outta here! (plus logging options, etc). Not that there's anything to prevent a user from clicking "Agree" and ignoring the policy... Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$
