It worked for me here with a local gpo test. In the screenshot you can't make it out but there is a vertical scroll bar to get to the rest of text. The testing was on a windows 10 21H2 build

I have number of Server 2019 and Windows 10 machines that need to have a Legal Notice displayed before logon.
I have configured the relevant GPO's (Interactive logon: Message text for users attempting to log on and Interactive logon: Message title for users attempting to log on) and the text does display. I have a message that's 980-ish characters, and I have used carriage returns in the line-ends which I believe should allow a message of up to 2048 characters. However, it is still truncated, but at more than 512 characters.
Any ideas please?

You're right about using carriage returns but to get the full 2048 I think you'll need four 512 char lines with CR terms on each.

Ah - so no more than four lines, but each one can be up to 512 chars?
I have about 25 lines, each one much less than 512, and with a CR at the end.
I will try this and feedback this evening - thank you!
Hi, I apologise for slow reply, lots going on!
Sadly no luck. I created a text file that is 945 characters long (259791-company-statement-pre-logon.txt) and used that to cut and paste into the GPO setting
I get this result:
I also tried using shift-enter at the end of the lines instead of CR - sadly no luck there either. It always cuts of at character 769 - so more than 512 but not 2048...
Any other thoughts or help much appreciated!
I have also just tried one more thing - I have put as much text into each line as possible, so maxing out the 512-chars per line idea, and I get exactly the same result.
I am going to try this on one machine for a test setting it locally as is suggested in other forums, however I don't want to do that as it could later be overwritten by a GPO by mistake.
