windows server 2003 set wallpaper for all users through GPO

I have tested the procedures below on my side. In order to set the uniform wallpaper for users, you can refer to the steps below:
1. Create an OU and put all users that you want to set the wallpaper into it on domain.
2. Create a share folder and grant everyone has full control permission on it and put the wallpaper picture into this share.
3. Create a GPO, navigate to
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Desktop\Active Desktop \Active Desktop Wallpaper
Set this item enable and in the wallpaper name column, input the share path that we created in step 2, for example \\servername\share\picture.jpg
After finishing, please click OK to confirm.

4. On the client pc, logon to PC using the user account included in the OU defined in first one step to test the result.
