When using group policy to control Windows XP clients of a Windows 2003 Active Directory network is it possible to set a default user bitmap background without enabling Active Desktop?
I've tried various options in group policy, but all need AD enabled, else you get a plain blue standard background.
Any help would be appreciated!
I really dunno networking, but... if a client was setting his own background he would not need ActiveDesktop - it's just a picture the OS picks up, a reg key read. If you wish to force one over a network then surely that implies ActiveDesktop be enabled as it is a network control. That's possibly gibberish. One day I'll buy a spare puter just so's I can introduce myself to networking. But i may walk on the moon first.
