Group Policy Wallpaper

Hi
I have all my users with the same wallpaper using Group Policy.  The path to the Wallpaper is on the Server.  
My Laptop users need this Wallpaper when visiting clients.  Currently this is not happening.
Is there any way using Group Policy that I can roll this solution out?  If not then I guess I will have to manually copy the Wallpaper file to each laptop.

Cheers

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I have got the first part working   xcopy \\server\share\test.jpg "%userprofile%\" /y in that I can now copy the Wallpaper to each machine but when I use the suggested  Syntax of "%userprofile%\test.jpg   it does not seem to work. I have tried closing the quotes and leaving them off but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Cheers

I believe that there is a wait time until changes are reflected in GPO. However by adding another line to the batch file you add the reg entry automatically.

reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v wallpaper /d %userprofile%\test.jpg /f
