The Enterprise IT Messaging and Compliance Solution
Need a powerful, automated way to deliver critical IT messages, enforce security policies, and track user acknowledgments across your organization? Message Manager Deluxe is the leading IT messaging solution designed for modern networks, hybrid workforces, and cloud environments. Stop relying on outdated login scripts and unsecured email reminders -- Message Manager Deluxe ensures every user sees and acknowledges your important messages.
Deploy through Microsoft Intune, Azure AD, Group Policy, Windows Task Scheduler, or PowerShell. Configure centralized messages with rich text, custom images, branding, and multimedia. Track every user response in detailed compliance logs ready for audit. Message Manager Deluxe gives IT administrators complete control over policy enforcement without disrupting workflows.
Who Is This For?
- IT directors and system administrators -- Ensure users acknowledge security policies and IT updates before accessing systems.
- Cloud and remote workforces -- Deliver login messages across Azure AD, VPN, and virtual desktops in hybrid environments.
- Healthcare, finance, and legal compliance -- Enforce HIPAA, GDPR, PCI, and SOC 2 security policies with documented acknowledgments.
- Education and government IT -- Display acceptable use policies (AUPs) to students and employees with mandatory acknowledgment.
Key Features
Policy Compliance Enforcement
Require users to read and accept Acceptable Use Policies, security updates, and company notices before accessing their workstation. Disable buttons until the entire message is read.
Advanced Scheduling
Display messages on specific days, dates, or recurring intervals (every X days). Combine scheduling with cookie-based tracking to prevent duplicate displays.
Rich Text and Multimedia
Support for RTF formatted text, custom images of any size, custom sounds, animated splash screens, and network-loaded message content. Full branding control.
Detailed Compliance Logging
Log every user response to a delimited file with username, machine name, IP address, button clicked, and timestamp. Import directly into Excel, Access, or SQL Server.
Desktop Lockdown
Hide the Windows desktop and taskbar, disable Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+Tab, and Windows keys until the user acknowledges the message. Full attention guaranteed.
Response-Based Actions
Configure buttons to launch applications, open URLs, log off users, restart or shut down systems, or return DOS errorlevel codes for scripted workflows.

The main screen shows all configured messages. Create, edit, delete, or preview any message from this central dashboard.
Configure the message name, location, caption, and body text. Use built-in macros to dynamically display user and system information. Load message content from network files for easy updates.
Choose standard Windows icons or custom images of any size. Add custom sounds or Windows event sounds to grab attention when the message appears.
Configure button text, actions (launch app, open URL, logoff, restart, shutdown), errorlevel codes, images, fonts, and delay timers that disable buttons until the user has read the full message.
Advanced options: hide the desktop, disable taskbar, block Ctrl+Alt+Del and Alt+Tab, keep focus on top, prevent window movement, and full-screen display.
Schedule messages for specific days, dates, or recurring intervals. Combine with cookie tracking for one-time or periodic compliance displays.
Configure detailed compliance logging with username, machine name, IP address, button clicked, and timestamp. Export to delimited files for database import.
The cookie feature prevents the same message from appearing on the same machine more than once -- perfect for one-time policy acknowledgments.
