Server 2025 is just kicking my ass right now. Trying to figure out why I can't set a desktop wallaper, and coming up short. Blocking all GPOs, nothing in DaaS policy... yet the background is a black wallpaper 100% of the time.

Windows not activated?
n
Yep, it's activated

"I've tried nothing, and i'm all out of ideas"

I wish that were the case here.
Build a new PVS target device in an OU with GPO inheritance blocked, logged in via VMware web console, and I can change the wallpaper
tried the same thing with the other VDA yet I'm still blocked. And in DaaS, I have the desktop wallpaper policy allowed and at the highest priority.

that's so odd. I don't have much 2025 XP. I will watch intently.
My mantra normally is "Nothing's Easy"

right now my mantra is fuck S25

lol, moved the VDA that isn't working into another OU with inheritance blocked and I immediately see wallpaper. I only have a few policies, and even unlinking them didn't work. This makes no sense.

Proof that staring at something for too long is unhelpful
No idea how I missed this.
