Brainsuck: Terminal Server Wallpaper?

I'm building a Server 2003 Terminal Server for a bunch of remote users. I want to force a standard wallpaper onto their remote desktop sessions. How?

(I can see how to disable or enable their *choice*, but I don't want them to have a choice, as the wallpaper will include warnings, phone numbers etc that I want them to always have)

Bah, bloody documentation!

Can't help with that, but how about also making the warnings the default home page for IE/Netscape/FFox or whatever, then disable their choice to change that

Duly noted.

Colin the Debugging Cactus succeeds again. It's a pair of settings in group policy - user config - admin templates - desktop. Enable Active Desktop, and set the wallpaper. One very slick job done.

I think he was called colin. Or George. One of the programmers at the ILRT used to talk to his cactus when he had tech troubles. The act of framing the question is what solves the problem, not the reply.

Arabis/Ghedrel, who *was* that..?

Er, I have absolutely no idea who you are talking about. I don't remember there *ever* being a George. There was a Colin Gaunt, but he worked for the TASI and afaik wasn't a programmer.

Have just asked on the IRC channel, but no responses as yet...

Nononono, not the person, the cactus!
