I've googled this as I'd like to get it running properly now.

I've put BGInfo.exe and bginfo.cfg into the %logonserver%\netlogon\LogonScripts\BGInfo and I've got a bat file called bginfo in the %logonserver%\netlogon folder.

If I double click the bat file, it runs and the bginfo is loaded.

I've shoved this into a GPO under "user config", policies, windows settings, scripts, logon/logoff as a logon script (i've browsed to the bat file location).

But it never seems to work.

Here's the bat file too:

Code: 
%logonserver%\netlogon\LogonScripts\BGInfo\bginfo.exe %logonserver%\netlogon\LogonScripts\BGInfo\bginfo.bgi /timer:0 /silent

Any ideas?
 
Also, don't put the files in %logonserver%, put them in sysvol

\\domainname.tld\sysvol\domainname.tld\

That way it won't matter which logon server is up/active.

EDIT: Great minds eh sp00n ;)
 
ok, but if I go to \\mydomain.ltd\sysvol\scripts

I see them in there anyway (as per logonserver). Do I just need to ammend the bat file then? :)
 
Hmm, I reckon it's a permission issue. When I run the bat file it keeps saying Run or Cancel (with cancel highlighted). If I run the bat as Run As Admin it just prompts the EULA.

Is there a way to counteract the Run/Cancel window?

This is gonna sound daft, but have you tried running it from the command prompt with a '/?' on the end to see if any the command switches there will help you out....?
 
Yeah, tried. Strange things are a foot. If I put it on to the server I RDP to its fine, it will stay there for ever. If I rdp from that server to another, it then disappears

Stupid
 
we have laptop users, so i send it to the local drive then put a shortcut in the startup folder. it's sloppy but I was having weird issues and i wanted to get it rolled out so it'll do for the time being.

my startup icon reads: "C:\Logon\Bginfo.exe C:\Logon\config.bgi /timer:0 /nolicprompt"

GPO

gpedit.msc >
User Configuration >
Administrative Templates >
Windows Components >
Attachment Manager >

In the right pane, double click on 'Inclusion list for moderate risk file types' >
Enabled >
Under 'Inclusion list for moderate risk file types' >
*.bat* > OK

Do the same for 'Inclusion list for low risk file types'.
 
Ok lol, what the hell.

A Windows 7 client I've just logged on to has the wallpaper, even though it's not even in the applicable GP!

Oddage!
