Lock screen picture URL not applicableSolved

Hi!

Make sure the URL starts with http or https and points to a .jpg or .jpeg file, as other formats like .png may not work correctly with scripts. If that didn’t work, try downloading the image to the device first and use the local file path in the script.

Also, be sure to run the script as admin, since changing the lock screen needs elevated permissions. If the changes still don’t show up, a quick restart can often help apply them.

Ohh, that makes sense. I’ve just been pasting in a URL without confirming the format. Thanks! I was trying to do it all through a PowerShell script.

Just curious, why go through all that with scripts? Hexnode has the feature to manage wallpapers directly from the console.

Wait, really? Could you explain a bit?

Hi, you can customize the display settings such as desktop wallpaper, and lock screen wallpaper on Windows devices using Hexnode’s Wallpaper feature.

Here’s how to do so:

1. On your Hexnode UEM console, navigate to the Policies tab.
2. Create a new policy or modify an existing policy.
3. Click on Windows > Configurations > Wallpaper to configure it.
4. In the Lock Screen Wallpaper section, choose the wallpaper type, image source, and if needed, configure the settings to display device details on the lock screen.
5. Click Save and associate the policy to the targets.

For more information, you can check out the help documentation on setting wallpaper on Windows devices.
