The system message is a good idea.  However, I am not aware of any feature
like this.  A work around could be a requirement that is not enforced (which
will allow them to click Next and bypass it) where you place your message in
the description field.

Subject: Displaying users messages via the CCA Agent

This is an excellent list and I really appreciate the Cisco folks that
monitor and contribute.  

I have a question as the students are returning this week.  I created
some user pages trying to block users that have any windows OS below
2000 but it appears, based on the online users report that this didn't
work since I see users with Windows 98 logged in.  My question, if a
user already has the agent installed, is there any way to block them
from gaining access to the network simply based on their OS?  Also, is
there a way to display system messages in the agent after they login but
before they gain access?  Such a message might say that the network will
be unavailable for maintenance tonight from 10PM-2AM?

Thanks!

Elliott
