Change Win7 desktop background via Win2k3 Group Policy
- by microchasm
I'm experiencing some strange behavior: I have set the following policies:
User Configuration\Administrative templates\Desktop\Active Desktop
Enable active desktop [enabled]
Active Desktop Wallpaper [set to local path -- quadruple checked; path is correct]
Allow only bitmap wallpaper [disabled]
gpupdate /force, log out, log back in, and the background is just black. If I go into themes, and select Windows 7, the appointed background then shows (it also flashes when logging out).

and a few other things, but nothing seems to be working :/
Thanks for any help/tips/advice.
