Hi Guys,
I found an easy way to set up wallpaper to windows machines through LANDesk. Just follow the steps...
1. Select a bmp file as wallpaper
2. Rename the file as wallpaper.bmp
3. Keep the file in the network share with atleast read permission
4. Create a batch file like this
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
@echo off
copy .\wallpaper.bmp %windir% /Y
call :quiet>nul 2>&1
goto :EOF
:quiet
REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /V Wallpaper /T REG_SZ /F /D "%SystemRoot%\Wallpaper.bmp"
REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /V WallpaperStyle /T REG_SZ /F /D 0
REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /V TileWallpaper /T REG_SZ /F /D 2
%SystemRoot%\System32\RUNDLL32.EXE user32.dll, UpdatePerUserSystemParameters
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
5. Save the file in the same shared location of the wallpaper.bmp file
6. Create a distribution package for batch file
7. Select the batch file as a primary file (in UNC path)
8. Add the wallpaper.bmp as additional file and save the package
9. Create a schedule task for this distribution package
10. Drag and drop the target machines and start the task
Note:
The user must be logged in to the machine for the wallpaper setting to take effect.
Guys..if you have other simple ways to do this please share with us !
