[1703, cu] BGInfo

[Homer]

Morning all

 

Quick one, if you are using BGInfo how are you getting it to work on W10? It runs at login and I can see the file being generated into %TEMP% but it does not apply. It's going to be a simple one I know...

 

Any ideas?

Hello

 

We had loads of issues with BGInfo running on Win10 clients - in the end we have used our SCCM to robocopy the BGInfo, wallpaper and config files to the machines when we image them and put a shortcut in the Windows machine run folder so it runs on logon. We use group policy files to copy over updated backgrounds and target staff/students/ad site for our MAT.

 

Seems to be working well. Had problems originally with using BGInfo and the wallpaper on a network share on Win10 clients.

We copy the background file (a 1x1 bitmap) to C:\Windows using GPP and set the permissions to allow it to be changed. We then run bginfo at logon as well as setting that bitmap file to be the desktop background via Group Policy. This is belt and braces but it works!
