Change remote desktop wallpaper

  • 772

I want to change the desktop wallpaper on a bunch of users desktop. I dont have AD so I can't use a Global Policy. I found a script that works locally. However, I dont know how to make this run remotely. I plan on running the script from my computer and having it apply on the remote desktop computers I have in a list. 

set-itemproperty -path "HKCU:Control Panel\Desktop" -name WallPaper -value c:\wallpaper\wallpaper.jpg

How can I get this this script to run on remote computers?

powershell

  1. Invoke-Command -ComputerName RemoteComputerName { Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:Control Panel\Desktop" -name WallPaper -value c:\wallpaper\wallpaper.jpg }

    However, this answer does assume that the remote machine has WinRM enabled (you don't mention any OS, even though Zoredache asked). Have a look at Get-Help Invoke-Command to see how to do credentials and impersonations if you're running outside of an AD environment.
