Copy logon bitmap to machine.

[damien.deakes]

Is there an easy (logon) script i could use to copy the logon bitmap to the machine ?

 

Just one problem i see is that students who login don't have write access to the C drive.

 

Any idea how i can push out this logon bitmap easily?

The following VBS script will copy the file over at machine startup, I use a modified version to copy over directories containing startmenu and desktop icons at startup. Because it is run under the system account, it will have access to the C:\ and the netlogon share with no problems.

 

Const OverWriteFiles = True
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.CopyFile "\\server\netlogon\wallpaper\wallpaper.bmp" , "C:\wallpaper.bmp", OverWriteFiles

 

Save as something.vbs and add it as a start up script to the necessary OUs, then copy the wallpaper you want to use to the netlogon share.

 

And before anyone adds it, yes you could probably use a batch file with the copy command, but I prefer VBS script, as it works for me!

There is always BGInfo? That adds more toys too

Yeh another recommendation for BGInfo here, its has loads more features and can run silently in the start script.
