Hi Chaps,

We have login in text, I have no just been given a fill disclaimer to add to each mac before they log in, its way too much to have on the screens, looks messy as it no longer centers and its a scroller now! So - Is there a way off setting up a pop-up before the suer logs on? With the text I require in and an accept and dont accept button maybe? Or even smarter just a nice notification style window?

Thanks
Simon

We use Apple's implementation of the Policy Banner to provide our EULA before a user logs in. Works for what we need but in the past the machines booting to a black screen after an OS X update was kind of annoying. Supposed to be fixed in El Capitan per Apple.

@jbmaruh That is wicked!! Perfect - Just wish it would show the greyed out wallpaper and not just a black screen. Maybe thats just me being OCD :P haha! Also shame theres a Decline button that could restart - I will look into it!
