Solve : change network wallpaper?

Answer»

hello
is there a way to change the desktop wallpaper of a group of pcs in the same network all at once?!! i am the admin and i am tired of CHANGING it manuallyDepends how your network is setup.

I know Active Directory GPO can do this.will this work?
i use xp and i dont have a serverYou need to have a Domain Controller to use GPO. You have however set a local policy so the user can't change the desktop BACKGROUND.

(assuming this is XP Pro)
Click Start -> Run -> Type 'gpedit.msc' (without 's)
Navigate to User Configuration\Administratrive Templates\Desktop\Active Desktop

In there you can specify all settings for active desktop, including what wallpaper to use and stop users from making changes.how do i check if i have a Domain Controller? Quote from: lavender on April 28, 2010, 02:58:23 AM

its a school lab with 25 computers + 1 for the teacher

Is this lab part of a bigger network (ie School Wide)?

Is there someone who is responsible for the WHOLE of the network?

What happens if you do the following?

start - run - Type (no quotes) "cmd" - press enter - type (no quotes) "gpresult" - press enter Quote

Right click My Computer -> PROPERTIES -> Computer Name

If on a domain Full Computer Name will show ComputerName.Domain.com

under full computer name will show domain .Domain.com
