Wallpaper not show in End User (GPO issue)

1 week ago,  I have got inform by ITSupport. He told me that one of his windows 7 laptop did not get the wallpaper that I deploy with GPO. So I told him to do this step.

1.) Go to command prompt - Run (GPUPDATE /FORCE) command
2.) Then Run (GPRESULT /R) and check the policy name is apply the laptop or not.
3.)  If the GPO is apply, Go to the Regedit, then check on this path (HKEY_CURRENT_USER-->Control Panel --> Desktop)
4.) Within the desktop, Right panel you can see Wallpaper. add the path into the value name of Wallpaper (Note: The value name must be C:\Windows\blabla.jpg
5.) After that put picture into that path C:\Windows\ and restart the laptop.

Then you can see the wallpaper after Windows restart.

Please note: This is fastest way to solved the wallpaper problem. Sometimes, GPO is take time to effect into the user.You can do this step to saved your wallpaper file into the local drive and assign your registry to get file from local drive.

Access Denied issue when you logon to W2K8 server

Hi All

This week I have met this issue from my office. I search from the net and I saw one of the articles. The articles say that it can fix it by registry. So I try that solution and it works. Here is the issue screen-shot and step below.

Access Denied issue

Step

1.) Type Regedit

2.) Go to (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE--> SYSTEM-->CurrentControlSet-->Control-->Services--> TermService)

     Then you can see just like screen-shot below-

3.) ObjectName is LocalSystem. That why you cannot logon to the W2K8 server. You have to changed it just like screen-shot below-

Change the ObjectName to be (NT Authority \NetworkService) and restart your W2K8 server. After restart the server the issue is gone. I can logon to the W2K8 server successfully.
