Hi
We are having issues getting our new citrix 64 bit servers to display the corporate background (Jpg). All our older 32bit servers display the background fine. All other policies are applied fine (such as folder redirection and office config). When you look at display properties the image is showing as if it is working fine.

Heres a list of things that i have already tried:

1) I have removed the server from the domain, deleted account and then re-added - (Still brings in all gp changes)
2) Checked permissions on image, changed image to another location
3) Changed image to BMP
4) added an 32 bit XP pc to the specific OU and it picked up all settings including background image.
5) removed all instances of wallpaper1.bmp from profiles and reboot.
6) added a local policy on the citrix server to point to wallpaper.

When you do a gpresult on the user profile it reports that it applies all the applicable group policies.
Also when you log on locally to the server as a user the wallpaper is downloaded.

Any Help is appreciated

Cheers Richard

I've managed to solve this.

I removed the servers of the domain, deleted the computer account from AD, Re-added to the domain and placed citrix servers back into the correct OU.

i'd done all this before but this time i used lowercase for the server names so instead of SERVER-01 it became server-01.

Force the gp update and volia background appeared..

all a bit strange really.
