Hi all

I Work in an evironment with multiple technicians who all have different levels of skills, i recently setup a mikrotik to do some policy routing and bandwidth monitoring and ip blocking ETC. ie, it is a bit more complicated than our usual setup. the problem is, everytime a different technician goes out to this client, they mess with my mik rules.

I want to know if and how i can post a message the instant someone logs on to a mikrotik using winbox, to say something arb like "please do not fiddle with these settings etc"

Thanks in advance.

Either add comments to your rules, so show others what they do (and to remind yourself), or use the Note to show at every login:

Sorry Normis

I dont understand the "note" switch you are talking about?
I am a bit of a novice i suppose.
Could you possible explain further?
thanks for the quick reply.

enter something in the "note" menu, and that text will always show up when somebody logs in

You can even add bigger and more complicated notes, with line breaks

Thanks Normis, Its helps alot.

Is it possible to put vb scripts on a mikrotik?
Im thinking of putting one in so the moment anyone logs on, a box pops up with the message.

pops up from where? nope, you can't do that. you can use "system script" to make RouterOS scripts, but no VB

When the user logins to winbox, popup box presents itself, with my message.

nope, winbox can't interfere with your windows system, it's not a virus

Haha yeah point taken

Sorry to pry. Thanks for the help.

please inform all of the user to click on "New Terminal" to see the message.
or will the terminal pop up itself.
Thanks

true, Winbox doesn't support these notes. You can deny access to winbox, and allow only SSH. let them learn command line

So, out of the box when I Winbox to brand new Mikrotik Router I get a popup window with a page of text explaining its configuration - HOW CAN I EDIT THAT POPUP WINDOW?
