But doesn't msgina.dll startup early in the boot sequence? Windows won't let you override...<br />
<br />
Oh, I see. You mean rename the altered msgina.dll to something else, copy it over, and change registry to load it. Can you confirm that?<br />
<br />
I suspect the shutdown command is to make it apply sooner, and not relevant if we are happy to wait till the user restarts their computer.

Yea, if you are ok with a later shutdown, no biggie. <br />
<br />
It just creates an alternate. I dont think the GINA loads until AFTER startup scripts. Basically if there is no GinaDLL value, it defaults to msgina.dll. All you are doing is specifying a custom one. <br />
<br />
Please test this to your satisfaction prior to mass deployment though. I tested the reg command fine, just wanna make sure nothing goes terribly wrong....

Hi all,<br />
<br />
I have modified msgina simply to change from MS logo to our company logo. Tested it quite a bit on an XP workstation and several XP VM's. Works as I want it to.<br />
<br />
The question is how can I roll this out to the other machines in the domain? All (apart from servers) are XP Pro.
