i am using win2k server with AD. i have set up a roaming profile for a certain user. when he logs in to other pc, his wallpaper is the same.
now my question is, how can i lock his wallpaper on a certain pc? for instance, user logs in at pc1 changes his wallpaper. then he logs in to pc2, his wallpaper is the same as what i have set in his roaming profile. can i possibly restrict his local profile on changing his wallpaper?
 
I ran srop.msc on the workstation computers and they are getting the correct GPO settings ""Small business Server client computer". I can see the active directory settings set fine, but they dont seem to work, the wallpaper is not being set.
 
im sorry i didnt replied here for quite some time, im working on something here that need much needed attention.
anyway, about the gpo policy, still it doesnt work. i have done ALL the instructions above, explored a little bit and still to no avail.
i also ran poledit to see if the workstation is getting the unc path of the wallpaper to the server, it sees the unc path.
but still roaming user can change the wallpaper.
