Group policy and corporate branding

I am looking at implementing corporate branding on all our desktops and laptops. We have been using BGINFO but I need to move away from using the login script. I need a solution using Group Policy and it needs to take the monitor resolution into consideration. The bmp/jpg files will be deployed locally. All devices are Windows XP SP3. (2500 in total)

Sorry, just re-read your original post. If you are trying to avoid using scripts full stop, then you could apply a WMI filter to your group policy objects.

You would have to create a group policy for each screen resolution, and apply the appropriate WMI filter to each of the group policy objects.

For example, the WMI filter below will apply to machines with 1600 x 1200 resolution, so the GPO that users this script should apply the appropriate wallpaper for this resolution.

However if it was me I think I would opt for a script to do some of the work. Bear in mind that Windows 2000 and before will not read the WMI filter on a GPO, so if you have Win2000 machines this may not be an option.
