setting custom Win7 logon background - Windows 2003 AD environment

Domanda
-
Hi
from looking at previous threads on this, it looked like a major issue, the hot-fix seemd to fix the issue, was it rolled into a service pack?
also can the above be achieved in a Win 2003 environment that does not use ADMX files to manage client settings.
Cheers
James

Hi,
The logon backgroud file resides in C:\Windows\System32\Oobe folder.
1. press win+r key and Type Regedit at run prompt
2. Locate following registry key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background
3. Now in right-side pane, change value of OEMBackground to 1.
4. Now place your custom image in %windir%\system32\oobe
5. Create a new folder info and background within newly created info folder
Folder path should look like this %windir%\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds
6. Now place your desired logon wallpaper within this background folder with file name as backgroundDefault.jpgNote: Two other things to keep in mind: First, the actual file size of backgroundDefault.jpg cannot exceed 256 KB. Second, you’ll want to use an image whose dimensions match the screen resolution that you are using. If you use a file whose dimensions are smaller, the image will be stretched and may appear distorted.

in the end the custom logon/lockout screen was removed as a requirment from the project
but two things -- the hotfix i mentioned was needed to fix the custom wallpaper issue (these were non SP win 7 images)
and I confused myself re the Windows 2003 domain bit, I forgot that you can edit the group policies frome a windows 7 machine (making the domain level irrelevant)
so had i needed to I could have manipulated that win7 regkey
also re the ADMX -- again (it been a while since I did all this stuff,) i confused the issue because migrating to the ADMX policies does not need to be done to use the windows 7 CSE's

and re
If the Group Policies are applied from Domain Controller, they cannot be modified in Group Policy Editor on client side.
not sure I agree with the above statement
