What if you do not want to change the Desktop background
of your server or workstations; what if you only want to
change the background that is displayed at the network
logon screen? How does one do that?

In GPO
User Config\Administrative Templates\Desktop\Active
Desktop\Active Desktop Wallpaper
Specifies the desktop background (wallpaper) displayed on
all users' desktops. This setting lets you specify the
wallpaper on users' desktops and prevents users from
changing the image or its presentation. The wallpaper you
specify can be stored in a bitmap (*.bmp), JPEG (*.jpg),
or HTML (*.htm, *.html) file. To use this setting, type
the fully qualified path and name of the file that stores
the wallpaper image. You can type a local path, such as
C:\Windows\web\wallpaper\home.jpg or a UNC path, such as
\\Server\Share\Corp.jpg. If the specified file is not
available when the user logs on, no wallpaper is
displayed. Users cannot specify alternative wallpaper. You
can also use this setting to specify that the wallpaper
image be centered, tiled, or stretched. Users cannot
change this specification. If you disable this setting or
do not configure it, no wallpaper is displayed. However,
users can select the wallpaper of their choice. Also, see
the Allow only bitmapped wallpaper in the same location,
and the Prevent changing wallpaper setting in User
Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel.
Note: You need to enable the Active Desktop to use this
setting. Note: This setting does not apply to Terminal
Server sessions.
