Sending Message in Active Directory to all domain Users? ....Anyone?

Question

I have a situation and I’m hoping someone can help? I am going to implement a password change across our domain on Jun 1st. But I want to send a message to all domain users a few weeks before like a warning that this will happen on this day before they login. I created a group policy drilled down to the Security Settings Local Policy Interactive Login Message Title for Users Attempting to Logon Typed in my message and I put that GP on my Departments OU to test it but it never showed up on my Depts PCs after rebooting. I also ran a gpupdate /force then restarted but still no message. Am I doing something wrong?Also the Computers are waiting for Network when they startup. Help....

Well I found the answer to my own question..lol And decided to reply to my own Post incase anyone had an issue like mine. There are two policies that deal with the text message that gets displayed when a user attempts to log on. Under Computer Configuration|Windows Settings|Security Settings|Local Policies|Security Options look for these two policies: Interactive logon: Message text for users attempting to log on Interactive logon: Message title for users attempting to log on First these two policies must be defined at the domain level and BOTH must be configured in order for the policies to work correctly. I was just using the (Message text for users attempting to log on) and not the Message title for user attempting to logon. Once I configured them both it worked Perfectly. Thanks
