Ey guys, been racking my brain on this one:

Ok, scenario as follows.

650 users, roughly 20 departments each with their own OU in AD, one general policy for basic lockdown stuff, each OU also has a departmental policy, which applies particular folder redirections, etc. Standard stuff so far.

Departmental policies also apply a desktop wallpaper, so for example the IT policy has under "user configuration, policies, administrative templates, desktop, desktop" --> prohibit changes (to wallpaper) set to enabled, and desktop wallpaper references a UNC path to the particular departments wallpaper.

Ok so far, all wallpapers copy across, display, and cannot be modified by the end-user.

But...we have a wide mix of screen resolutions across the board, most common being 1440x900 (19" widescreens) and 1024x768 (17" 4:3 flatscreens)

The wallpapers have a calendar which, depending on which resolution the desktop wallpaper is, looks distorted.

How do you guys get around this? Is there a VB script which can detect screen resolution and apply a particular wallpaper?

It's doing my head in :(
 
Yep thanks Sin, though about that but it will mess up the design and end up with an ugly black band all around, and the departmental logo has to be on the bottom right of the screen, not somewhere in the middle of the screen.

Eeesh...pain in the rear end this...
