RESOLUTION

If your environment depends on a Winlogon notification package, contact your independent software vendor (ISV) for a replacement. If you are using a custom Winlogon notification package that you created, you can create a new solution by using Service Control Manager (SCM) notifications or the System Event Notification Service (SENS).
