User Configuration/Policies/Administrative Template/Desktop/Desktop/Desktop Wallpaper
- I am in hopes that someone can help me get this resolved :)
I am having trouble getting a desktop wallpaper to work through group policy. I have set the policy through User Configuration/Policies/Administrative Template/Desktop/Desktop/Desktop Wallpaper. In here I have supplied the local path C:\WINDOWS\GJ.bmp (I have given full control ofthe GJ.bmp file to EVERYONE). I have also tried using a share from a server path and it gives me to same results.
When I logon with a test user in the OU the GPO is applied to, the wallpaper is plain blue. When I right-click on the desktop, select properties, click the desktop tab, the preview shows the picture. However, the actual desktop does not display the picture.
I have tried all that I know to try. Something so "simple", turned out to be not so simple for me. Hopefully I am doing something stupid. Someone please shed a little light on me. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Tony

- Hey Tony,
I replied to your post in another thread, but you have put more info in this post. How did you get the bmp to everyone's C:\windows location? You said earlier that you have this being applied by the default Domain Policy, is that true?
You also state that you have the GPO applied to an OU that has a test user in it. Do you have that user applied correctly in the security filtering?, or do you have authenticated users or Domain Users in the security filtering?
Is the rest of the policy being applied? Is it just the desktop part not applying? I'd check the slow link detection settings. Also do you have the Windows 2008 Client Side Extensions loaded on the XP Boxes? I know Mundane questions, but I always start at the bottom and work up... *Smile*
I'd test it this way. Make a new Group policy and only set the Wallpaper settings. Apply it to a test user and see if it applies. Do a GPRESULT at a command prompt and see if the policy was applied or filtered out.
Lastly some things to think about when configuring the GP and the BMP,
Are there any Settings defined in User Config\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Display\Desktop Themes\? Do you have the "Load a specific Visual Style file or Force Windows Classic" Enabled?
I have seen it do strange things when it had to resize the image to fit. Do all your systems have the same size monitor and same setting? i.e. 1024x768?
You can try this, resize the image to something that will fit in the majority of your users, something like 800x600. Push that out and see if it helps. Also check to make sure the Wallpaper Style is set to Center and not stretch.
Good Luck,
Mike

- Hi,
Please move GJ.bmp file to a shared folder and give everyone Read Permissoin. Use \\server\share\GJ.bmp when configuring policy.
Run "gpupdate /force" and test. If the issue persists, try to copy GJ.bmp file to client and use local Group Policy to test.
Thanks.
