    Didn't really know master on windows 7 is stable for testing.. Great to know that.. I will try the same with a windows 7 box n let you"l know.. Did you guys try installing Java console and then setting up the login banner..?? Mark the java logs shows that the LoginBanner.conf file is created.. Its a good way to verify if its working..Haven't checked the windows console logs so not sure about it... Vickie let me see the exact version of windows i tested on.. And I would like you to actually download the file I had attached and move it on your master not just the contents.. Also let me know if java console works for u or no..

    Yeah, thanks Mark/Amol,

    I tried this earlier, but it doesn't work. The contents of conf file was given as below, but as you know no luck.
    The first line value 1 I set because I need confirmation check box to appear as well.

    LOGIN_BANNER.ISCHKBOXREQ=1      
    LOGIN_BANNER.HEADING=WARNING
    LOGIN_BANNER.TEXT= WARNING

    I checked registry deeply, and not able to find any key for Login banner.

    As you said, it Seems to be a Bug. 

    But it is working on Windows2003 server not on Windows2008. So most likely the issue is with window2k8 platform

    Mark i guess u just mentioned that ur machine is windows 7 pro.. As i stated earlier.. Are u creating the file on the windows 7 machine or the master serve.? Could you guys also try downloading the file I attached and moving it on your master server. Just wana know if it helps coz I tried moving it on multiple machines and it worked everywhere... The file was tested and created on windows 2008 machines and in red hat.. Another thing I can suggest is try installing Java Console on the windows machine and then try setting up the Banner.... Lets see if that helps. Please ensure that you run the Java console setup with "Run as admin"

    Vickie and Mark could you guys please give me the exact nbu version on the master server and also details about which version of windows 2008 you are using... Let me see if I can find a machine with identical config and test the issue..

    My machine is a Win 7 Pro SP1 64 bit laptop - it is a Master / Media Server with advanced disk, VTL and MSDP - I know what you are thinking but it is for my reference, testing and demonstrations only and comes in pretty handy!!!

    No UAC or firewalls or anything on it either.

    Amol,

    I downloaded the file, and put it there. Rename it and remove _.txt from the name. But still no luck.

    I will go to install the JAVA console and will try it there.

    But this is working with netbackup nbconsole on windows2003 and other server, not sure what is wrong with win2k8 server.

    Amol,

    Thats great, It worked with Java console. But again, the concern still there as why its not working with NBCONSOLE. Even though, on some server it worked.
    If you have any idea about, why this worked with Java console ? Please share.
