I have done this using an ADM file I wrote, as I don't like active desktops. I have found this to be more reliable and faster. Using Group Policy Management Console Find a group policy that applies to the users you want to set the background for. Right click on the policy and click "Edit" Under "User Configuration" right click on "Administrative Templates" Click "Add/Remove Templates" Click "Add" Browse to the adm file I have attached to this post (EW-Display.adm inside the zip file) Click "Open" Click "Close" Under "User Configuration" Expand "Administrative Templates" Expand "Edward Watton" In the right hand panel double click "Wallpaper" Select Enable Enter a path to the bmp image file you want to set as a background (I recommend you point it to a local copy of the file to save network bandwidth. You could deploy the bmp file using a script or package the bmp file using your normal package and deployment mechanism. Also ensure the user has read access to the bmp file) Log on to the network as a user that this group policy applies to and enjoy your new wallpaper with a coffee NOTE: You can only use bmp files for backgrounds using this mechanism. The image needs to be the correct size for the resolution of your computers as I have not added the stretch property/option to my adm file. Hope this helps Edd EW-Display.zip

Hi Everyone, I am currently looking at SIMS Learning Gateway (SLG) and I have a few questions: 1. If we go for internal hosting what licenses do we require for SharePoint 2007/ Windows server /SQL Server to allow access to the different user types (Staff/Pupils/Parents/Governors) 2. Advantages/disadvantages of internal vs external hosting (our LEA are not offering a LEA hosted solution) 3. What does it do to AD regarding the creation of staff and pupil accounts? If you want to use the SLG accounts for domain logon what customizations/template options do you have (e.g. group membership/ username format/ etc) If you have any other experiences of it that you would like to share that would be great. Thanks Edd
