Can we Edit the Local Computer Policy ?

Hi Team, I would like to set the static wallpaper for all the users. I Achieved the same by using the Computer local policy. https://appuals.com/set-a-default-background-wallpaper-for-all-users-in-...

Thanks for your response. There is no GPO for the desktop wallpaper.

Set-ItemProperty : with this I can only able to change the current user session only. Not for every user.

I believe LGPO is the only option.
Do we have any powershell cmdlet to use this LGPO ?

If you want to chagne all local user's desktop wallpaper, you should change "HKEY_USERS" registry value not a HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

You can change other user's value HKLM > HKU\SID(S-1-xxxx)

But it's temporarily too.

LGPO is standalone. You just type LGPO commands in script.

# Export (Backup)
# You shoud using path all user can access.
"PATH"\LGPO.exe /b "PATH"\"BACKUP"
# Adjust
"PATH"\LGPO.exe /g "PATH"\"BACKUP"

There are several things to watch out before you try this.

* Other local policies are being used individually

* How to execute LGPO to all users.
