Setting Default Wallpaper

Using Windows Server 2008 and the clients all on Windows 7 Pro - I am trying to use Group Policy to control the desktop of all the clients in the Student OU? We would like to use the school logo as the desktop background and I tried using Method #1 from this link -
http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2011/03/best-practice-using-group-policy-to-configure-desktop-wallpaper-background/

The server name is hcsserver, the network share is Profiles and the file is HCSLogo.jpg

My UNC path is \\hcsserver\Profiles\HCSLogo.jpg

The Group policy is called Desktop Wallpaper and is lionked to the student OU. When a student logs what they get is a black background.

Have I missed a step somewhere?

Please advise!

Thank you!

Please verify if Domain Users have at least Read&Execute permission on that shared folder where wallpaper is stored.

That might be an issue

Yes Domain Users do have the necessary rights.

Did not know about hotfix. I will apply it.
