How do I roll out a screensaver with group policy?

[Guest vambo]

Hi,

I know I have asked the question here before but I have had so many

different answers and still no further on.

So here goes again.

I would like to roll out a corporate screensaver through group policy and

active directory (widows server 2003) to approx 150 desktop XP users.

1. Can I use a jpeg or does it have to be a .scr file?

2. If it is a .scr file, can anyone recommend a program that will create this?

3. Can anyone supply a step by step guide on how to set this up?

 

I would really appreciate the answers to the above questions!

 

thank you

 

Rob.

Have a look at the e-motional Images Screensaver

http://www.e-motional.com/images.htm This allows you to manage which images

get displayed as a screensaver using group policy. If you prefer to display

web pages instead, they have one called the Auto Web View Screensaver

http://www.e-motional.com/autowebview.htm I can be managed with GPOs also.

 

Let me know what you think of it.
