Desktop background gpo

[itgeek]

Hi I have deployed a gpo for the background image of all staff machines. The only problem is that when the laptops leave the network the background goes to black. Is there any way to change this? The background is on the server, how would I overcome this?

 

 

Thanks

Copy the background to the local computer and change the path on the gpo?

But the background location will surely be saved in their local profile so it won't matter...
