Windows 7 GPO Wallpaper

Windows 7 heeft een bug met het zetten van een Wallpaper in een gpo.
Hiervoor heb je twee oplossingen

Oplossing 1
Onder Group Policy Preferences moet je een registry key aanmaken met daarin de link naar de achtergrond.

en tevens moet ook nog de volgende policy ingesteld worden

Oplossing 2:
Is het vervangen van default achtergrond die Windows 7 heeft en gelinkt wordt wanneer een nieuwe user op de desbetreffende pc inlogt. Dit scriptje heb ik in MDT gehangen.

Scriptje:
takeown /F c:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg
echo y| cacls c:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg /E /G “administrator”:F
echo y| cacls c:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg /E /G “users”:R
copy “Z:\Applications\Algemeen\img0.jpg” “c:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg” /Y
