Well if you do want to keep everything on the network (I would), just
use offline files to cache those network shares which hold your desktop, start
menu, and wallpaper content. J

OK, fair enough. In my case, if a user loses their network connection they?re
not getting a start menu, desktop or anything else, so the wallpaper is the
least of their problems. :)

Because if you ever lose your network connection for whatever reason your
wallpaper will go blank. Copying it to the local system is an extra step, but
it?s simple and gives you much more consistent results. J

Why not just locate the wallpaper on a network share and point to it via the
GPO Jamie indicates below?

Well for starters, I would use a computer startup script to copy the file to
the system root folder. It will run under the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM context and
should have all the rights you need. Or, if you have the Group Policy
Preference (GPP) extensions deployed, you can also them to do simple file
copies like this.
For configuring the actual wallpaper though, you should use the native Group
Policy settings so the wallpaper can easily be ?undone? my simply removing the
GPO . You?ll need to configure the following policy settings:
User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Desktop/Active Desktop/Enable
Active Desktop = ?Enabled?
User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Desktop/Active Desktop/Active
Desktop Wallpaper = ?Local/UNC Path to Wallpaper?
Keep in mind that once you configure it this way, the user will not be able
to change it.
