Deploy Desktop Background Wallpaper using Group Policy



Steps:

1.Open the Group Policy Management Console. In the Group Policy Management Console




2.right click on the domain and click Create a GPO in this domain and link it here. You can also create a group policy object and later use the option Link an existing GPO


To link an existing GPO, right-click the domain or OU within the domain, and then click Link an Existing GPO. Provide a name to the GPO, once the GPO is created, right click on the GPO and click Edit. This will open the Group Policy Management Editor.

3.In Group Policy Management Editor, expand User Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, expand Desktop, and then click Desktop. In the details pane, double-click Desktop Wallpaper.



 4. To enable this setting click Enabled. The wallpaper name should be set to either local path of the image or it can be UNC path. Set the wallpaper style as Fill. This will work best with most screen resolutions. Click Apply and OK.


You need to apply this group policy to the user group. Note that this policy is applicable only to domain users. 
If you are looking to apply the same policy to computers then you should make use of Loopback processing of Group Policy.

5.Finally Update the group policy to apply the wallpaper in client computers.
