Set School Logo in user account picture on logon screen

[jgc]

Hi

 

I've set a custom background login screen and also a default user logo once individuals log into our network. It is just the default user account logo is blank on the logon screen. Can this be changed?

 

Using Win 7 with 2008 R2 server.

I used to use a sysprep to achieve this, by adding the following to an unattend file:

 

   
 
true

   

 

This will copy ANY settings changed in the currently logged on profile, to the default user profile.

Hi

 

Is there a way to do this for machines that are already imaged?

 

Thanks for your help

You could always write a batch file to add the following registry keys on logon:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background
"OEMBackground"=dword:00000001

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
"UseDefaultTile"=dword:00000001

I have set every user to use the same profile picture. That picture will stay blank until a user logs in. If no users are logged into Windows, then that picture will stay blank.

Set a GPO to change the guest.bmp and user.bmp located in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures

 

To a similar sized .bmp of your choice/school logo. renamed as guest.bmp and user.bmp
