Desktop change company wide

[Bhavin78]

Our company has a new logo and I need to find out a way to change logo on each and every PC and server. we have more than 3000 PC. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Origninally it was configured manually on each PC( did not use group policy)

What format is the logo? where is the logo you want to replace, on the desktop as wallpaper, on the general tab of my computer properties, or some place else?

I have log in any format gif or bmp.
I want that logo configured under
the general tab of my computer (desktop/background)

You could do this several ways i leave that up to you, i would probably use a logon script. but this the info you will need to know. the text type info on the system properties general tab is stored in windows\system32\oeminfo.ini and the image on the general tab is stored as windows\system32\oemlogo.bmp. use a logon script or whatever mechanism you chose to push 2 new files out to the clients. as for the background image you can force this image in GP.

You might also consider altering the backgrounds via a registry script. Have it add the name of the file to HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper.

Roadki11,
I was not able to find oeminfo.ini and oemlogo.bmp on my windows xp computer.
What if I use GP to change the logo and than take GP off?


OHR6 where do I do this?
HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper.

You would need to create a registry script and have the script add the file to the registry under HKey_Current_User\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper.

Not sure what to tell ya. If it doesnt have oeminfo.ini and oemlogo.bmp then it doesnt show any thing on the system properties general tab. as far as i know the OS doesnt look for any other file names other than the ones i stated. you can create them and put them into the system32 dir and check it out for yourself. if you force the background/wallpaper image with GP and then remove the GP it will go back to whatever it was before you applied the GP.

I found out online that if this files are missing I manually need to create them.
Next question is logo, the logo itself is not on each users PC, how this will work? Same applies to GP.

Within the value for "Wallpaper" you will point it to the location of your .bmp

Ex: \\servername\shared\images\company.bmp

Normally it is set to your local preference like follows:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Wallpaper1.bmp
