Configure Interactive logon Message for Users Using Intune

In this post, You will learn the steps to configure Interactive logon message for users Using Intune aka, Endpoint Manager. This policy setting specifies the text displayed in the window’s title bar that users see when they log on to the system.

Interactive logon messages may also help to reinforce corporate policy by notifying employees of the appropriate policy during the logon process. You can configure this setting in a manner consistent with the security and operational requirements of your organization.

Microsoft introduced an Interactive logon message for users attempting to log on that displays a warning message before logon may help prevent an attack by warning the attacker about the consequences of their misconduct before it happens.

This text is often used for legal reasons—for example, to warn users about the ramifications of misusing company information or that their actions may be audited.

    • I spent all day troubleshooting that before I realized, that is what was breaking the autopilot process. I had assigned to all autopilot devices instead of All Users.

      • I get an autopilot error even if the profile is deployed to the user signing in and not the device – did autopilot work for you when this policy was assigned to the user?

  1. “I had assigned to all autopilot devices instead of All Users.”

    Ok, that got me curious, so I tested it and it seems to work when assigned to Users instead of Autopilot Devices. White Glove/pre-provisioning works fine, I’m able to set up as a User and log in, but I don’t get the Interactive Logon for the first login. Once I have logged in and restart the computer, then I get the Interactive Logon.
