We have Win NT installed on user end comps in the office and our domain controller is Windows 2000. Now i want to know that how can i control the desktop wallpaper of all the clients end comps from the domain controller. I want to have the same wallpaper on all the comps and if i change it changes on all the computers.

You can certainly do it! If i have time later i will reply with another message. i am away from the office right now, and i have other things to do, so i gotta go, but i wanyrd to let you knoe its possible. In a nutshell what you have to do is to set up a dummy profile with the desktop wallpaper you want, make the profile mandatory so no-one can change it and then copy that profile to everyone's user account. This doesn't stop people changing the wallpaper each time the wall paper everytime they log on, but usually its such a drag to keep changing it, people give up. To stop people changing at all, you then need 'system policy editor' to further restict the accounts to stop the users accessing control panel or display properties. Uf this is enough maybe i will say no more. if you are interested, post back, and i will try to give a blow by blow description.
