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?

Just do it from AD:

Highlight the users that you want to change

Right mouse button, properties

Account Tab

Check 'User must change password at next logon'

Done.

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?
