Deploying Windows 2003 WallPappers

[viruzman]

Hello,

i seem to be having problems with wallpappers, win2k3 does not want to set the desktop walpapeprs on my domain computers. i used the default domain policy to test this, i enabled "Enable Active Desktop" and Active Desktop Walpappers, and set the wallpapper to
\\ServerName\MyFolder\Desktop.jpg, and set to everyone read permissions.

and still after performing a GPUPDATE /force, the wallpapper on the computers are still not set accordingly to what i want, seems it doesn't matter what i do, the wallpapper just doesn't want to switch to the one i have preset. any help would be appreciated.

thank you

I've always had better luck copying the .jpg file to the computer, and pointing to it the local version.

I had problems with JPG wallpapers with GP, try to use BMP instead.
