Description

The Get-LogonNotice cmdlet retrieves the logon message, displayed before the user is presented with the logon box, on a local or remote computer.

Parameters

• ComputerName The computer against which to run the cmdlet. By default this parameter will be populated with the name of the local computer.
• Credential The credentials under which to run the cmdlet. By default this cmdlet will run as the current user. Using this parameter and the Get-PSCredential cmdlet you can specify an alternate set of credentials under which to execute this command.

Get-LogonNotice accepts pipeline input only for the ComputerName parameter and requires that the input object contain a property named either Computer, CN or ComputerName.

Notes

The Get-LogonNotice cmdlet requires that the RPC service is started on the computer it is trying to access and that DNS services are available to resolve target host names.
