How does one set a group policy or registry setting which suppresses the logon picture?

You can't get rid of the logon picture totally, it's completely integrated into the system:

You probably need a logon script to handle changing the account picture after the use logs on:

This solution in the latter link was actually created by someone else and Magon Liu didn't credit the source (bad Magon!) but, I believe in the original version I remember seeing that it would also work for Windows 7 computers. Can't quite be sure about the servers, but I'd think they would be the same.
