BGinfo through GPO

Ok, I lolled a bit because I realised that I was physically sat at the W7 machine and there was a previous try at this on the default domain policy which, once I had done the low risk GPO mod, worked.

It then dawned on me that I was RDPing in to these other boxes and the desktop option for "enable desktop background" was unticked!!!! D'oh.

So, I ticked it, and logged on. Guess what??????????

sod all :(
 
Thats not my issue, but thanks anyway :) I had added that in quite a while ago

I think I'll go a different route and XML it from a start up script running the program from the local C drive (pushed out via GPO)
 
Sorry, did not know you had found the cmd..

On another note: I recently had issue getting a group of users to display a separate background from the default domain set one, I had to get around it by forcing the background via a reg key import, however, since found out that the problem was caused by a setting in the Default User profile... once I replaced it with a clean/fresh copy, the GPO started working properly on all the machines in question... just a thought?
