samba - Jul 2007 - Custom "Windows Welcome message"

Hello - I running Samba as a PDC on FC6 with roaming profiles. I need to setup a
custom Windows logon/welcome message... to tell users want they can expect using
this domain. Is it also possible to place different PDF files on the users
desktop when he or she logs on, but only referencing one source file, so I
don't have a copy for each user?
What is the best approach?

Thank You.
Ralf

use a login script or a mandatory desktop.

These 2 questions have nothing to do with samba, though ;), they are
normal windows networking in action.

Thanks for the tip.  In a windows AD domain, this is accomplished by using a
group policy... so how do you do this in samba.  I don't want to added each
XP box.
If it is done via a logon script, do you have an example?
