Trying to change the default wallpaper

[Judical]

I am trying to do this though command lines in a task sequence during OSD.

 

This is what I have;

cmd.exe /c takeown.exe /F C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg THIS WORKS

cmd.exe /c icacls.exe C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg /reset THIS WORKS

cmd.exe /c rename.exe C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg img1.jpg THIS DOESN'T WORK

cmd.exe /c xcopy.exe \\SERVERNAME\Repository\Misc\Wallpaper\*.* C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\ /E /D THIS DOESN'T WORK

 

I can't think of any reason why this wouldn't work.

Any help is appreciated.

My guess is that the img0.jpg has security rights that disallow you from renaming. Looking at C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg on my system it shows that Administrator only has Read & Execute, not Modify or Full Control.

 

Have you considered replacing the background in WinPE after the Apply OS Image task but before the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr task or using GPO or a registry hack?
