Hi Marcin,

Thanks for the reply but I have tried the method you have suggested
and it does not appear to be working. I have created a loop back
policy on the OU where my servers are and have set the enabled active
desktop to enabled, the wallpaper to C:\background.jpg and c entered.

When I log in the image does not display. Its only if I check the
display background on the RD client program that the image will
appear and that's what I am trying to not have to do each time.

May I ask why you want to do this? It has performance implications. I would
want to disable it by default!


You can assign an arbitrary wallpaper via User Configuration
settings of a GPO linked to the OU where the computer accounts are
stored and use loopback group policy processing in the replace mode
(for more on this subject, refer to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/231287/ ) to ensure that it will
apply to all users who connect to it via RDP...

Hi,

I am unable to find this because there is a setting in opposition
to what I
want but basically the Remote desktop client has an option to
display the background image of the remote machine and I want to
force all RD clients to
use this option.

I cannot find how to set this option under group policy.

The reason for doing this is that I want to display the name of the
machine
and some special "reminder" instructions such as "Do not Install
Outlook on
this server" as part of a plain background image.

This works nicely if I manually set the RD client to use the
desktop image but won't otherwise, therefore I want to force users
to have this setting with GPO.

Any help would be great!

Thanks, Cep.
