We use Netpresenter to create informational screen savers for certain PCs, but I like Cameron's idea below better.

I set this up using GPO and a fileshare about 3 years ago. The *news* items were saved as .jpg's and dumped into a file share that would be accessed by all computers and the screensaver was set as the slideshow that accessed that folder. It actually works pretty well. On Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 12:34 PM, Paul Hutchings <[email protected]> wrote: At long last we may be going to bring in company wallpaper and screensavers. I'm aware you can do this via GPO but I've not had cause to do more than the basics so far. One thing that's been mentioned is being able to display news/events info as part of either the wallpaper or screensaver. So I'd be looking for an IT solution that once set, would allow another area of the business to either dump some pictures somewhere, or put some web pages somewhere, and those become that day/week's wallpapers and screensaver. Of course there are issues such as controlling who can access the repositories, but focussing purely on "how would we do this?", does anyone do anything similar right now, and if so how please?
