ISSUE:  

The VERDE Administrator wants to control the wallpaper that Domain users get in their virtual desktops

 

SOLUTION:

Best practice is to not change Default Domain Policy. Instead, you should create a new group policy (GPO) and link it to the domain, site or OU you need.  However, if you decide to change the Domain Policy, here are the steps:


1) From Active Directory, access Users and Computer
2) In left pane, right click on the name of your domain and choose "Properties"
3) Click Group Policy Tab
4) Select Default Domain Policy and click Edit button
5) In left pane go to User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Control Panel -> Display
6) In right pane Enable the option "Disable changing wallpaper". It will prevent users from changing wallpaper
7) In left pane go to User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Desktop -> Active Desktop
8) In right pane you will be able set wallpaper name (option "Active Desktop Wallpaper") or prevent using Active Desktop wallpapers (option "Allow only bitmapped wallpapers")
