Hi

We have a standard wallpaper set via GPO accross our domian, I have set the
'Enforce Removal of Remote Desktop Wallpaper' GPO to prevent the wallpaper
displaying over Remote desktop as we are having performance issues. But it
doesn't do anything?? the wallpaper is still there.

Thanks

David
 
Re: Enforce Removal of Remote Desktop Wallpaper doesn't work?

Hi David,

Please describe your environment in more detail so I
can investigate. Things like OS versions of your
servers, TS servers, PCs, how you have your Group Policy
configured (Is your TS in a separate OU).

Are your referring to users connecting to their workstations
with Remote Desktop or are you referring to users
connecting to a Terminal Server? By default wallpaper is
not displayed when connecting to a 2003 TS.

Are you sharing roaming profiles between your workstations
and the TS?

Have you used gpresult, regedit or similar methods to see if
the setting is being applied?

Thank you.

Hi

Our environment is, Windows 2003 servers, Windows XP Pro workstations. We
are using Remote Desktop for Administrators to connect to users pc's and
to servers.

Users are not connecting to TS and we don't use roaming profiles. The default
company wallpaper is set via GPO and the same policy is used to switch off
the Enforce Removal of Remote Desktop Wallpaper in Computer Configuration/Administrative
Templates/Windows Components/Terminal Services.

I have used GPresult and the setting is enabled.

Thanks

David

Hi David,

While I am researching this issue please remember that you
can disable wallpaper on the Experience tab of the Remote
Desktop Client (uncheck Desktop Background). That way
when you connect the wallpaper will not be shown.

Thanks.
