Windows 7 Balloon message
Hi All,
I am trying to find a way to stop an interactive logon warning ( number of days before password expires ) , which was enabled in group policy from fading away on Windows 7 machines.
When the user logs on , the message appears , but it fades away and does not allow the user enough time to read the warning.
Is there any way to stop this feature within windows 7 ? Previous versions of windows OS did not have this issue as you had to click the OK button before the alert disappears.

Hi Senad,
I have already set this on the default domain policy , but the problem is that when the user logs on , the message appears for a few seconds and disappears...
By then , the user has not read the message. I need the message to stay there until you click an ok button like on Windows XP. I dont know if this can be changed for Windows 7?

perhaps domain and local are somehow in conflict .... check again...

there is no conflict. This seems to be standard behaviour by windows 7. I have checked a fair few forums and users are reporting the same concern.
The policy is applying correctly , but the notification is displayed on the bottom right hand corner as a fading bubble.

I am having the same issue! Any help would be great. This is a big problem. I am wondering if it has to do with Schema changes that should be done for Windows 7 and Windows 2008r2 compatibility
