Auto Restart and Recover Doesn't Dismiss Legal Notice

[Mortimer]

If a machine has a pre login legal notice setup, as per this Microsoft KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/101063), the auto reboot and recover process stops at the notice, and waits for someone to click on the notice.

Is there a way the WSUS updater could temporarily disable any such notices if they are set and restore them once updating is complete?

There is a Way to do that via registry tweaks.

@WSUSUpdateAdmin

Habe was gefunden.

Dafür gibt es in der Registry zwei entsprechende Einträge im Schlüssel:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
in der rechten Fensterhälfte suchst du nach
"LegalNoticeCaption" = hier kannst du eine Beschreibung für das Fenster angeben, sie steht dann im Fenster oben links.
und
"LegalNoticeText" = hier wird der gewünschte Text eingegeben.

Könnte man den Wert zu Beginn exportieren, und dann am Ende der Durchläufe mit autoreboot über die DeleteRecall-Prozedur bei Bedarf wieder importieren?

Viele Grüsse

I understand that, an know about the registry tweak. The notices are put there when the security policy mandated by our company's security team, so I am not permitted to permanently remove them. I was asking if it would be possible for the WSUS updater to deal with these types of notices automatically, so the update process when run with the restart/recover option set is truly automatic, and doesn't require someone to periodically return to machines and dismiss these notices manually if they appear.

I suspect that there is no way for a program to detect the presence of one of these notices and dismiss it under program control, so the approach would probably be to look at the registry to see if there are settings there for one of these notices. Export that section of the registry, delete them from the registry, run the updates, and then restore the backed up registry segment back into the registry.

Hi!

Thanks, I just "fixed" that: http://trac.wsusoffline.net/browser/trunk (r378).

Wow! That was quick, I only discovered and posted about that yesterday.

I'm not at work at the moment, but when I am next in the office, I'll give it a try.

Many thanks.
