"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.
I have created group policy and link to the it department . but wallpaper is not applying . Any reason for that .rsop.msc indicating my new setting on the result but physically not visible when I Login to the domain
my client PC is running windows 8.1 and server 20018 r2 . I have applied the wallpaper and but not working with the client . Any idea ? need any hotfix to installed ?
\\server\Shares\Wallpapers
create a GPO in desired OU
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Desktop > Desktop > Desktop Wallpaper
\\server\Shares\Wallpapers
fill
gpupdate /force
automatically changing for 5 days is also possible but it can done with Scheduling Task for every day.
you have to execute a .bat file with task scheduler daily at server startup or 8 AM.
if 5 wallpapers are listed in the folder '\\server\share\wallpapers
so the bat file just rename the wallpaper1.jpg to wallpaper.jpg each day and your GPO point to that wallpaper.jpg as default wallpaper.
example:
mondaywal.bat
rename d:\shares\wallpapers\wallp
tuewall.bat
rename d:\shares\wallpapers\wallp
create a GPO in desired OU
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Desktop > Desktop > Desktop Wallpaper
\\server\Shares\Wallpapers

gpupdate /force

I have done every thing except all users . I have given authenticated users as read . Do I have to give access to Domain\users as well . Anyway I can access the set path from the client machine . but still client PC will load with the black background . when I check with the client PC , I can see the set wallpaper in the local client pc under personalized wallpapers section . I have applied that manually and restart the client PC . then it will go back to the old blank black background

The "Desktop Wallpaper" Group Policy setting is not applied in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
Article only for windows 7 and server 2008 R2

If the group policies are not applying then you need to make sure that security filtering is set properly. You also need to make sure that you are linking the GPO to the correct OU where the users reside.
If you have done that and they are still not getting the policy you need to log in as that user and run rsop.msc on the client machine. This will show you all of the policies are being applied.

I have 6 users in the above OU and 3 of the users getting my new wallpaper . Including my PC not getting that wallpaper . Any reason for that ?
I have realized some big issue with applying new policy setting will take longer generally

windows 10 pcs only same OU and both Pcs not getting new GPO based Desktop wall paper . my PC running windiows 8.1 and can see the RSOP result as newly assign path . But it didn't appear on the PC
have you tried to access the location in server in which .jpg exist ?
\\server\Shares\Wallpapers
the DC administrator and all domain users should have access to that location
try to access that location from DC and from the client as well

Most of the times we organize OU structure as Department wise, this simplest theme always works like a charm for your first requirement.
Refer to the attachment, when organizing ADUC its better to make Additional OU for your site/domain. In this way we can easily apply GPO on all Users or PCs in one shot.
Disable inheritance and filtering can be done for specifying objects.
when we create a GPO and link that in any OU, the GPO just literraly link to the OU. Like if we make shortcut on our desktop of a executable file which is in program files or any where so the shortcut just link which execute that executable. Similarly OUs are in Group Policy Objects folder in AD and the link works like a shortcut in OUs.
