Deploy Desktop Background Wallpaper using Group Policy

Thankyou for sharing the knowledge,
Is it possible to deploy GIF or a live wallpaper using GPO
Is there any alternative

Great instructions but going to a client PC to run a gpupdate doesn't make sense! Is there a way to force this in the background without an IT admin going in person to run the group policy update?

Thanks for your video. How to deploy sideshow wallpaper via gpo?

Can you please explain how to set ppt on desktop as wallpaper?

How to use live wallpaper ..I want random wallpaper to change on every login ...how can we do it

Hi,


When a user is connected to domain network and log's in to his/she laptop, he/she receives wallpaper from the server and everything is fine but if the same user is disconnected from the domain network after logging into the laptop he/she gets black wallpaper screen,

AD Server - Windows 2019 Standard

Affected Users - Windows 10 Pro(latest build) and Windows 11.

Observations :

1) Cached wallpaper file is still available in below location of user appdata in windows 10 and 11 system even if the user is not connected to domain network(verified after logging in),

%AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper

2) But windows 7 users gets wallpaper in their laptop even if they are disconnected from the domain network (Tested)

My Questions :

1) Why windows 10 or 11 doesn't use the same wallpaper which was previous received from Domain Controller which is still available in users appdata if the laptop is disconnected from domain network.

Is there a GPO that can be used for slideshow??

Hello. Great detailed explanation. Learning individuals can easily get familiar with the process.
Thank you for your hard work.

A BIGGGG thank you for this video!!!

In my case it does not let me create the GPO, it gives the error "The specified server cannot perform the requested operation".

tell me one thing do i need a seperate domain controller and a machine or i can do it in the domain controller

Nice vedio it's resolve my policy issue, thanks

Can the same be done for the lock screen image?

The screen for end users goes black when users are not on the domain network. Any idea why?

I did exactly the same steps and all i'm getting are black screen wallpapers on all machines in my setup :(

hi is this only applicable for the admin but not users,
it will take effect once, but the next login will become black screen..
also those users that under OU, any work around ?

Awesome material. Works like a charm everytime.

Can we do the same for linux servers if we join the linux servers to windows AD?

Possible to incorporate BGInfo in addition to deploying the wallpaper group policy?
