Deploy lock screen background

Hi Expert,

I want to be able to deploy lock screen background from the server. I have a sbs2011 server. I have never deployed anything so I will not have a clue where to start. can someone advise? can this even be done.

this is because it is Christmas soon and we want to change it to a themed background.

All Pc's are on the domain, all PC's are windows 7 as well if this helps.

last time I went round and changed all the backgrounds automatically and this was very long winded.

all help welcome, thank you!

I found it in the end, but now I have another question!

I have enabled all of these, but how do I set a desktop background? so this seems like I have stopped someone from changing it but I want to be able to implement a generic background to all PC's

this is not the background I want to change, I want to change the lock screen background not the desktop background. so for example when you log into the computer at the authentication screen in windows 7, this is the picture I want to change.

I found this : http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2011/04/best-practice-how-to-use-group-policy-to-configure-windows-7-logon-ui-background-wallpaper/

but I don't understand what he is doing in step 3. where has he clicked to open this window up? I understand what hes trying to do but not how he has got to that window.
