[SOLVED] Wallpaper

[Maelvon]

Hello,

is there a way to set a single wallpaper for all users (Windows 7 and Windows 10)? What configuration would be required?
Or do you have a tutorial lying around?

Thanks in advance.

Found a lead (untested) here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comme... pany_wide/

Which points to a script:

Code: Select all

# Sets Lockscreen for Windows 10 Pro #
 
takeown /f C:\Windows\Web
takeown /f C:\Windows\Web\*.* /R
takeown /f C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData /R /D Y
icacls C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData\*.* /reset /T /C
icacls C:\Windows\Web\*.* /reset /T /C
copy \\Server\everyone\LockScreen\img100.jpg C:\Windows\Web\Screen\img100.jpg /y
copy \\Server\everyone\LockScreen\img100.jpg C:\Windows\Web\Screen\img101.jpg /y
copy \\Server\everyone\LockScreen\img100.jpg C:\Windows\Web\Screen\img102.jpg /y
copy \\Server\everyone\LockScreen\img100.jpg C:\Windows\Web\Screen\img103.jpg /y
copy \\Server\everyone\LockScreen\img100.jpg C:\Windows\Web\Screen\img104.jpg /y
copy \\Server\everyone\LockScreen\img100.jpg C:\Windows\Web\Screen\img105.jpg /y
copy \\Server\everyone\LockScreen\img101.png C:\Windows\Web\Screen\img100.png /y
copy \\Server\everyone\LockScreen\img101.png C:\Windows\Web\Screen\img101.png /y
copy \\Server\everyone\LockScreen\img101.png C:\Windows\Web\Screen\img102.png /y
copy \\Server\everyone\LockScreen\img101.png C:\Windows\Web\Screen\img103.png /y
copy \\Server\everyone\LockScreen\img101.png C:\Windows\Web\Screen\img104.png /y
copy \\Server\everyone\LockScreen\img101.png C:\Windows\Web\Screen\img105.png /y
RD C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData /S /Q
icacls c:\windows\web\*.* /setowner "NT Service\TrustedInstaller" /T /C"

That seems like a reasonable stock option! Otherwise, it doesn't seem possible in GPO.

Not tested yet, but I'm answering myself.

Hello, here's a suggestion:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization > Force a default lock screen image.

Thanks for the tip.

The parameter is indicated as:

Note: This setting only applies to Enterprise, Education, and Server SKUs.

I have the impression that this does not work with Samba4, or am I mistaken?

Hello Maelvon,

The choice between Samba-AD and MS-AD has no impact here. The GPO depends on the Windows client version (PRO or Enterprise), not the AD server.

The script you provided should do the job, although it could be simplified and improved with a good WAPT package

Sincerely,
Denis

Thanks Denis.

Okay, the recommendation for the PRO or Enterprise version applies to the client computer. Well, since they're Windows 10 Pro machines, it doesn't work. I'll have to test the script then. And we should also switch to WAPT :.)
