Q:

Group Policy to set desktop background to say machine name

Is there a way to easily set in group policy for each of the machines in our domain to say the machine name on the desktop background?  Our users log into multiple machines in a day and tend to get confused which one is which.

A:

There is not a default Group Policy to display the hostname on the desktop.  
An alternative is to use a utility, such as BgInfo, in either a startup/Run registry key/logon scrip/etc to add information to the desktop wallpaper.
