RE: [ActiveDir] OT: bginfo
This was definitely a help . I modified the bginfoinstall.cmd to add these lines Echo > %systemroot%\bginfo.bmp echo y| cacls %systemroot%\bginfo.bmp /e /g users:w I removed the regedit line and did away with the .reg file and instead thru a GPO that is being used for other things for the users I put the bgi.cmd file into the login script. Everything works great then. Thanks for pointers.

RE: [ActiveDir] OT: bginfo
IIRC you only need to specify write rights on the bginfo.bmp file. But it's been a while. Gruesse - Sincerely, Ulf B.
