    Deploy Desktop Background Wallpaper

    using Group Policy


    Open the Group Policy Management Console. In the Group Policy Management
    Console, right click on the domain and click Create a GPO in this domain and link it
    here. You can also create a group policy object and later use the option Link an
    existing GPO.

    To link an existing GPO, right-click the domain or OU within the domain, and then
    click Link an Existing GPO. Provide a name to the GPO, once the GPO is created, right
    click on the GPO and click Edit. This will open the Group Policy Management Editor.

    In Group Policy Management Editor, expand User Configuration, expand


    Administrative Templates, expand Desktop, and then click Desktop. In the details
    pane, double-click Desktop Wallpaper.
    To enable this setting click Enabled. The wallpaper name should be set to either local
    path of the image or it can be UNC path. Set the wallpaper style as Fill. This will work
    best with most screen resolutions. Click Apply and OK.
    You need to apply this group policy to the user group. Note that this policy is
    applicable only to domain users. If you are looking to apply the same policy to
    computers then you should make use of Loopback processing of Group Policy

    On the client machine wait for the policy to get updated. The users may have to log
    off and login once to see the changed desktop wallpaper. In the below screenshot
    we see that desktop wallpaper policy settings have been successfully applied.
