Question : Force desktop background except for remote access

Hi,
I would like to force a desktop background on all domain PCs and terminal services desktops EXCEPT vpn access to terminal services.
Is this possible?
Cheers,
Gordon

Answer : Force desktop background except for remote access

You will need to script this.
When you logon to a TS you can retrieve the IP address of the client. You will need programming skills for that.

The clientname (the hostname of the PC connecting) you can simply get out of the environment variable %CLIENTNAME%. Much simpler.
As you know the background can be set in a registry key so your script can retrieve the clientname and if it does not match any of the internal computers, you simply do NOT apply a background (get rid of the registry key).

That should work for you.
