Is there any way I can broadcast a message to all the computers that are logged into my domain controller? Even is if it's "Good Morning" when everyone logs in each morning.

net send /domain "Good Morning!"

You would use that if you want to send a broadcast message to all users in the domain. You can run it from any computer at a DOS prompt.

Now, if you want to have it give the message only when users logon, then you don't want to "broadcast" as you requested. And you don't want to use that command. You want to put it into your logonscript.

That would depend on the operating system of your clients and DCs.

Is there anywhere I can go to learn about logon scripts for windows 2000 PDC's?

As long as your clients are running Windows 2000, then I'd suggest you use VBScript. There's tons of examples for using VBScript in the logonscript to do just what you're asking.
