1. Create another policy (from scratch) that has both the Interactive logon: Message text for users attempting to log on and Interactive logon: Message title for users attempting to log on, enabled but blank.

2. In the scope of this negation policy, set the Security Filtering to include only the computer hostnames you want to have the negation policy applied to.

3. Apply this negation policy to the OU where the computers reside.

The effect is that the Logon warning policy is applied to the OU but then the negation policy overrides this setting only for the specified computers. NOTE: This will only work if your existing policy that sets the logon message is not set to “enforced”. If this is the case it will override the negation policy.
