None Active Desktop Wallpaper through GPO
Is there anyway you can force wallpaper onto client PC's using GPO without having to enable Active desktop?
I have tried adding the setting in a GPO but there is no effect unless i enable the Active Desktop policy. Is there anyway around this?

According to [1], Active Desktop only needs to be enabled if using JPG or HTML for the background. I haven't tested this.
There is nothing wrong with setting wallpaper via logon scripts, but I feel that many administrators would expect this to be configured within a GPO.
I suggest that you may wish your script to copy the BMP to the local disk for the benefit of laptop users.
