Winlogon notification packages do not work after you upgrade to Windows Vista

SYMPTOMS

After you upgrade to Microsoft Windows Vista, Winlogon notification packages do not work.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because Winlogon notification packages are not supported in Windows Vista.

RESOLUTION

If your environment depends on a Winlogon notification package, contact your independent software vendor (ISV) for a replacement. If you are using a custom Winlogon notification package that you created, you can create a new solution by using Service Control Manager (SCM) notifications or the System Event Notification Service (SENS).

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
