Windows 7 - Password Expiry Message at Logon
Currently our password expiry notification are done via a popup balloon at the bottom right corner of the Windows 7 screen. We have it set through GPO with this setting: Interactive Logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration.
That creates a prompt in the lower right hand part of the screen. I have worke aother places where it will prompt you at the Windows login as soon as you log on. It is a window that pops up before your desktop titles Logon Message and says "Your password will expire in x days. Do you want to change it now?". If you click yes it brings up the change password window. If you select no it just continues to logon.
Where do I go in GPO to force this logon message at logon instead of just the balloon method?

I want people to be prompted that their password is going to expire soon and to think about changing it. I want this popup:

We do have that setting enabled and set for 14 days. We only get this prompt, noting at logon. Is there something else I should look for on why there are no messages during logon?
I found this script. I have not tested it
