Server 2012 Interactive Logon

Has anyone got this working and formatting correctly?

with 2012 DC I've setup Interactive Logon message but I can't put a carriage return in

It either ignores it, or, if I put the <255> white space trick, it just prints the first line...

Tried the .vbs script too to no avail. I just always seem to end up with a wall of text.

Same result as with the <255> option. Only the first line is displayed

The message reads:

This is a test message for OcUK
*
If it works, I will be very happy.
*
If you tolerate this, then your children will be next.

But all I see is this:

Also, sorry mods, I meant to post this in the Windows forum, if someone can move

Ah, when I meant carriage return, I meant a clear line space between paragraphs

Paradigm, when are you referring to U+202F and U+202D do you mean ALT+202F?

ie, how are you typing it into the GPO interactive logon window?

I'd have liked to see the ability to use basic HTML5 or something on that logon message. It's long overdue for a bit of a spruce up.

Agree

Pfft, had to install the Desktop Experience feature before I could even see the character map!!!

EDIT:

Arrrgh, still can't get this to work!! In the interactive logon GPO window, are you typing the message like this and putting the inserted characters inline. Or

are you typing like this

and adding the characters to the blank line in between the two lines of text?

I'm doing this:

And still only one line gets published
