Hi Filipe Augusto da Silva Braz!

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

It sounds like you're experiencing issues with deploying a wallpaper through Microsoft Intune on some devices. Here are some detailed steps and suggestions to help you troubleshoot and force the deployment:

Steps to Troubleshoot and Force Wallpaper Deployment

1. Verify Policy Status in Intune Portal
   • Go to the Intune portal and navigate to Devices > Configuration profiles.
   • Check the status of the wallpaper deployment policy to ensure it has been successfully applied to all targeted devices.
2. Check Device Compliance
   • Ensure that the devices in question are compliant with the Intune policies. Non-compliant devices may not receive the wallpaper deployment.
   • Navigate to Devices > Monitor > Device compliance to check the compliance status.
3. Check Registry Settings
   • On the affected devices, check the registry to see if the wallpaper policy has been applied: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PersonalizationCSP
   • Ensure that the wallpaper URL can be accessed from the device's browser.
4. Update Device Configuration Profile
   • If the policy is not applying correctly, try updating the device configuration profile:
   • Go to Devices > Configuration profiles > Create profile.
   • Select Windows 10 and later > Device restrictions.
   • Configure the wallpaper settings and ensure the image URL is publicly accessible.
5. Force Sync Intune Policies
   • On the affected devices, manually force a sync with Intune to apply the latest policies:
   • Open Settings > Accounts > Access work or school.
   • Select the connected account and click Info.
   • Click Sync to force a policy sync.
6. Use PowerShell Script for Deployment
   • If the issue persists, consider using a PowerShell script to deploy the wallpaper. This can be done by creating a Win32 app in Intune and deploying the script:
   • Create a PowerShell script to set the wallpaper.
   • Package the script using the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool.
   • Deploy the package as a Win32 app through Intune.

I hope these tips help resolve your issue! If you need further assistance, I am here to help.

Best regards, Jonathan

Hello!

If you're using the Configuration Profile under Administrative Templates > Personalization, it's important to note that including a wallpaper URL here will only apply to machines if they are running the Enterprise edition of Windows 10/11.

If your licensing is insufficient, you can use the below script to set the wallpaper. Make sure you set it to run as the logged in user (not system).

If ($ENV:PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432 -eq "AMD64") {
    Try {
        &"$ENV:WINDIR\SysNative\WindowsPowershell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe" -File $PSCOMMANDPATH
    }
    Catch {
        Throw "Failed to start $PSCOMMANDPATH"
    }
    Exit
}
$RegKeyPath = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PersonalizationCSP"


$DesktopPath = "DesktopImagePath"
$DesktopStatus = "DesktopImageStatus"
$DesktopUrl = "DesktopImageUrl"

$StatusValue = "1"


$url = "<URL TO WALLPAPER>"
$DesktopImageValue = "C:\Users\Public\wallpaper\desktop-wallpaper.jpeg"
$directory = "C:\Users\Public\wallpaper"


If ((Test-Path -Path $directory) -eq $false)
{
	New-Item -Path $directory -ItemType directory
}

$wc = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$wc.DownloadFile($url, $DesktopImageValue)



if (!(Test-Path $RegKeyPath))
{
	Write-Host "Creating registry path $($RegKeyPath)."
	New-Item -Path $RegKeyPath -Force | Out-Null
}


New-ItemProperty -Path $RegKeyPath -Name $DesktopStatus -Value $StatusValue -PropertyType DWORD -Force | Out-Null
New-ItemProperty -Path $RegKeyPath -Name $DesktopPath -Value $DesktopImageValue -PropertyType STRING -Force | Out-Null
New-ItemProperty -Path $RegKeyPath -Name $DesktopUrl -Value $DesktopImageValue -PropertyType STRING -Force | Out-Null
