Kurt, I think Bob is referring to HT4788.

Bob, I don't know, but have you tried those instructions?
This article for ML refers back to Ht 4788. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4290

Hi Barney and CT,

I couldn't be sure, because I thought the Jive system automatically guessed and placed those KBase article links. So I assumed it wasn't BobSaggy who put that there.

Kurt: It has been my understanding (someone here educated me a long time ago) that on those HT pages there's a place where you can ask a question and that sends it here, equipped with the number of the page where the whole thing started.

Ah! That's how it's done. I tried to see how to do that in a new topic and there was nothing to place such a link. Just tags and forum check boxes.

Hi Barney,

Thanks for the link and Kurt thanks for the reply. You are right barney, there was a link to post a question on KBase article so i just posted the question. Sorry it was not more specific as I thought anyone who answered would pick up on the article i was referring to.

So what i wanted to do was to creat a Login window banner in OS X Mountain Lion. Going to your link Barney, i had tried the "Policy Banner" intruction and it was actually the one i wanted to replicate or get working but it did not work. Am yet to try the "Login window text" method so will try that. Howver like i said, the one i would love to get working is "Policy Banner".

Thanks.

Hi Eric,

After creating the policy banner, when i log in, it does not show on the login screen. I still get the normal Mountain Lion login screen with the circle with my picture, my name and input field to enter password.

Thanks.
