Setting desktop wallpaper with UEM9

I've been digging all through the documentation, videos, forums, and knowledgebases, and no one has a good example of how to set the desktop background for desktop pools using UEM9.  Have any of you gotten this to work?

Yeah, you can import the Windows Policy Definitions in here too. In my environment I went to Manage Templates, add folder and then pointed to C:\Windows\Policy Definitions and this brings in the necessary admx files.

You should be able to set the desktop wallpaper from there.

Hey,

I have managed to get this working is by using the ADMX-based settings section in User Environment. In here you can create a GPO and set the wallpaper as you would from the normal Windows GPO editor.

Seems to work fine for me anyway.

Would that be through one of the ADMX templates?  I've imported them, but they only seem to apply to UEM and nothing Windows based.

Under Windows settings, there is a Wallpaper tab, what´s the difference setting it from GPO? It´s possible to configure the wallpaper from here as well ?

Thank you.
