That's Brilliant thank you! I'll have a look into this. Regards Danny

***FIXED!!!*** Thanks to all that helped along the way, Thank you @subway_lunch for all of your help, sorry I couldn't get your method to work! Just to clarify to any others trying to do this fix, I used the code above and made it into a VBS script. then added that script into the logoff policy in GPM and then linked that to the relevant users. for the first time to see If this worked I had to Log on, log off and then log on again to see the updated wallpaper Having said all that I would be interested in this method for future development, I've heard about this but not really looked into it before, is there a help sheet or guide that you recommend to get started with learning about this? Thanks again all. Delleropk

Unfortunately this didn't work I'll have another play with this tomorrow.

Many Thanks I will try that asap

*UPDATE* This SO nearly works, just not quite, I'm wondering if you can help me tweak it. The first thing I realised was that we use roaming Profiles stored on the server so I had to change "C:" to the UNC path. If I manually navigate to this location for a particular user and delete the transcodedwallpaper myself and then logon with that user, it works! YAY! but I cant seem to get this script to do it on log in. I've been applying this script in the following location in the GPM: User Configuration>Policies>Windows Settings>Scripts>Logon this is the script I've been using $user = $Env:USERNAME # Get's curent username $path1 = "\\server\profiles$\Students\" # First part of path $path2 = "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes" # Second part of path $fullpath = $path1 + $user + $path2 # Create full path $file2 = "TranscodedWallpaper" Get-ChildItem $fullpath -Include $file2 -Recurse | Remove-Item # Actual Delete any ideas? I've been fiddling with this all day.... Many Thanks Delleropk

Many thanks I’ll try that!

Hi, I have an annoying issue with GP where I am setting the desktop wallpaper in GP (User Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>Desktop>Desktop>Desktop Wallpaper) this is set to a shared UNC path (\\server\netlogon\wallpaper\wallpaper.jpg). So If I create a user "test" this new user will get my new Desktop wallpaper. which is fine. The problem comes if I change this wallpaper to a different image, but maintaining the file name and replacing the image in the shared store. My user "test" wont have updated to the new wallpaper, however if I make another new user "test1" this new user will have the updated wallpaper. To me this is some kind of "caching" issue? where the wallpaper is being cached somehow? its puzzling the heck out of me. I work in a school environment so to have a desktop that can change with local events or seasons would be a nice touch. Server 2019desktops are all Windows 10 Many Thanks Delleropk
