Now create (or Edit) a GPO thats linked to the OU that contains your users, ( remember the thing that looks like an OU in AD called users, isn’t an OU, it’s a ‘container’). Now I’m creating a basic script that will map a drive letter (x:) on the client machine to that share, and copy down all the photos into a folder called “C:\IT Dept\Screensaver”. Optimized to be easy to use and work like a charm on PC and Xbox. Each photo transitions smoothly to the next and photos are updated weekly to keep them fresh.
SolutionĬreate a share folder to put all your photos in, I’m setting Share Permissions Everyone = Read, then on the Security tab, Domain users = Read, and Domain Admins = Full Control. Enjoy a constant stream of the most highly rated and beautiful photos from around the world. I’ve done this with Windows 10 clients, but it should work with anything newer than Windows XP. I’m going to have a central server share, with some photos in, then I’m going to copy them down to all the clients, and finally set their screen saver to use those photos as a ‘slide show’ screen saver. I was tasked with working out how to do this for a client a couple of weeks ago, so I thought it would make a decent article.
