I am trouble shooting the fact that my desktop pic is not showing up.
Is there something says that the desktop pic is supposed to end with a certain .extn?
I have a policy that is copying the file over to the proper location. And it appears that the managed preference is being triggered as there is a file created in the /library/managedpreferences/ area but something is still not happy.
Thoughts?

Did you save the file from a location that may have admin or local user permissions stuck on it? Try changing the permissions of the file to everyone Read & Write and see if that helps?


How are you trying to set the desktop image?
MCX, Profile or script.


As it turned out there was something weird about how the pic was named, apparently something in MCX does not like under_scores.
