J_Worth Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I dont know whats going wrong, I have done everything said and it still doesnt change the background. I have even made the gpo enforced Has the background been copied to C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds? Sent from my iPhone using EduGeek
northeast_technician Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 yeah the background is there its just not using it
J_Worth Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 yeah the background is there its just not using it Ok. If you run rsop.msc does it show that the policy for Always Use Custom Background has been applied to the computer? Sent from my iPhone using EduGeek

Sent from my iPhone using EduGeek On a related note; I ran that as sysadmin on my desktop, to see if anything was failing, and I'm being told RSoP is unable to generate data.

northeast_technician Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 will check in morning as i am off site and it wont let me remote in for some reason. surly it is running though if it has copied the file?

Details: invalid namespace. RSoP has always worked for me. If there are issues run gpresult /h gpo.html from a command prompt as admin to dump the applied GPO settings into a readable HTML document.

northeast_technician Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 where does it dump the file to?
J_Worth Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 where does it dump the file to? It will dump it into C:\Users\%username% Although you can specify any path you want. For example: Gpresult /h c:\gpos\gpo.html Sent from my iPhone using EduGeek

Found this document: Group Policy not applying for just one user….. “INFO: The user does not have RSOP data” | Netspoon It might help, or it might not.
X-13 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Found this document: Group Policy not applying for just one user….. “INFO: The user does not have RSOP data” | Netspoon It might help, or it might not. Just before I left, I founf something about adding a couple of registry entries. It's probably just a side effect of having an RM network.
J_Worth Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 It's probably just a side effect of having an RM network. Eek! We've always been on a Vanilla setup, so we've not had the luck () of running RM!!
northeast_technician Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 Does oobe\info\backgrounds contain any other files or just that one? Sent from my iPhone using EduGeek just that one, also the results of the gpo confirm always use custom logon backround
northeast_technician Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 does the custom background not have to replace the background.jpg in the oobe\ file or am i barking up the wrong tree? otherwise how does it know which file to actually use?
northeast_technician Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 just to let you know i have it working, googled and found that you also need to create a reg edit gpo if anyone wants details let me know
mrbios Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Go to your computer policy > GPP > registry Action: Create Hive: HKLM Key path: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background Value name: OEMBackground Value type: REG_DWORD Value data: 0x1 (1) ^ copy and pasted from my group policies. needed that in order for it to pickup a custom background in the system32\oobe\backgrounds folder, as that group policy of "use custom background" or whatever it is, appears to do sweet FA Lastly just to make sure, you have got it in this folder, with this spelling and this name: C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds\BackgroundDefault.jpg (why does this forum keep sticking random spaces in places today?)

X-13 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 (why does this forum keep sticking random spaces in places today?) If there is more than a certain number of characters in a "word", it pops a space in there.
