XP Logon Screen for 2003?


Altruist

Recommended Posts

I've been fascinated by the Windows XP logon screen ever since I cracked open logonui.exe and had a look at UIFILE and it's HTML-like layout complete with style sheets.

However, I'm running 2003 as a Workstation and find myself without. Is it possible (anything's possible, but is it do-able within reason) to get the XP logon screen on ServerWorkstation 2003 SP2?

EDIT:

From the Version Info in the logonui.exe included with Server 2003SP2

1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 6,0,3790,3959
PRODUCTVERSION 6,0,3790,3959
FILEOS 0x40004
FILETYPE 0x2
{
BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
{
BLOCK "040904B0"
{
VALUE "CompanyName", "Microsoft Corporation"
VALUE "FileDescription", "Windows Logon UI"
VALUE "FileVersion", "6.00.3790.3959 (srv03_sp2_rtm.070216-1710)"
VALUE "InternalName", "LOGONUI"
VALUE "LegalCopyright", "© Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved."
VALUE "OriginalFilename", "LOGONUI.EXE"
VALUE "ProductName", "Microsoft® Windows® Operating System"
VALUE "ProductVersion", "6.00.3790.3959"
}
}

BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
{
VALUE "Translation", 0x0409 0x04B0
}
}

Note the FileVersion: "srv03_sp2_rtm"

Despite Windows XP bitmaps in the executable, this is specifically branded for Server 2003. The UIFILE and everything is intact, meaning they intended for this to be used. There has got to be a way to do this.

I've changed the registry as described, but still no joy. What am I missing?
