Setting Background image using group policy
Hi,
I would like to set the background image on all of our servers to be the same image for all the users. However I dont want the users desktops or or anyother computers to be affected by this.
The Servers are in an OU called Servers and the domain controllers are in the Domain controllers OU. So If I can make a change in the group policy I can just link it to these OU's
Can you tell me what is the best way of doing this?
Thanks
Matt

Yes, that's the setting. Yes, you can store the image locally, but it will have to be in the same place on each machine (since the path in the GPO will be the same for all machines).
I believe the wallpaper problem is fixed in SP1.

I have created a folder on each machine called C:\Background Image and have put a Background.bmp image in this location but the background has not changed I have tried doing a gpupdate /force
If I do a RSOP it doesnt list the policy.

Who are you logging in as? Domain Admins are exempt from most policies...

I am Logging in as a Domain Admin. The Policy shows up in RSOP under the Computer configuration but not on the users configuration.
Could this just be due to me being a Domain Admin? If so I want all users including Domain admins to be able to see this background.

Try changing the permissions on the GPO so Domain Admins are not "denied" Read permissions.

Domain Admins have the Read permission and the problem still exists

The problem is fixed now Im guessing it proberly was slow to replicate or something.

Also is the setting I need to change this one:
User Configuration>Policies>Adm
The rest of the settings are set to not configured.
Also is there a way of storing the image locally on the machine or do I have to put it in a shared location?
