It depends on if you want to target the settings at computers or users.<br /><br />If you want the BGInfo to apply to all users on a computer, then I'd target the settings at the computer objects with computer configuration.<br /><br />If you BBInfo to apply to only specific users on a system, then target the policy at those users.<br /><br />Also, BGInfo should just overlay itself over your existing wallpaper.Drew Henninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16626129363585110963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371160380009154045.post-45835001132535021142011-08-08T05:05:36.139-05:002011-08-08T05:05:36.139-05:00Drew,

Is there any benefit to doing that as opposed to deploying it as a user configuration?<br /><br />The reason why I ask is that in a previous background wallpaper GPO we deployed, we used the User Configuration Administrative Template. Therefore, I'm wondering if we can deploy BGInfo files/configuration as a user config.<br /><br />I know policy overrides preferences, but what happens when you enforce a preferenece. Does a conflicting policy still win?<br /><br />Thank you for your time!<br />AndrewAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11252987620951171943noreply@blogger.com
