Logon Message

Windows 2000 provides two settings to configure a logon message to be displayed to users:

  • Message Text for Users Attempting to Log On
  • Message Title for Users Attempting to Log On

Set both of these with the appropriate logon message for your organization.

Clear Virtual Memory Pagefile When System Shuts Down

The virtual memory pagefile contains important system information when the system is running. This system information may include encryption keys or password hashes. To force Windows 2000 to clear the system pagefile on shutdown, enable the Clear Virtual Memory Pagefile When System Shuts Down setting.

Allow System to Be Shut Down Without Having to Log On

Individuals should not be able to shut down systems if they cannot log on. Therefore, the Allow System to be Shut Down Without Having to Log On setting should be disabled.
