ARD - Setting Clients Desktop Background to a file stored on clients desktop

[djennings93]

Hello,

 

Please can someone advise where i may be going wrong. I have copied a file called "ESSADB2020.png" to the clients desktop which succeeded. Now i'm trying to set that file to be the users desktop through a ARD unix command. Here is my code;

 

[font=Consolas]osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to set desktop picture to "~/Desktop/ESSADB2020.png" as POSIX file'[/font]

 

Which retrieves the following error.

 

[font=Consolas]33:48: execution error: Finder got an error: AppleEvent handler failed. (-10000)[/font]

 

If there's a better way to do then, any suggestions are much appreciated thanks!

 

PS. Please bare with, new to ARD and sending unix commands.

Do you have Profile Manager? If so, set the wallpaper path from there.
