In this post I will show how you can use group policy to apply a desktop background to the workstations in your environment. This is a Group Policy setting that we can apply to configure a custom wallpaper.
Please follow this guide on how to copy the background image to your workstations using the Resources folder that you created earlier in this post.
Create a GPO & apply it to the OU containing your user objects.
Edit the GPO & navigate to the following location:
User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Desktop > Desktop
Policy: Desktop Wallpaper
Action: Enable
Wallpaper name: C:\Program Files\Local Files\Desktop_background.jpg
At this point, run a gpupdate /force on your workstation & reboot for the policy to apply.
The custom wallpaper will then apply when your users log into their workstations.
