Just doing an industry survey. Those NOT in education, do you lock the wallpaper for your users?

No.

 

I try to give end users as much freedom as possible.

Nope

No we do not. And when we did we gave end-users the option to use their own.

We used to but experienced bad user feedback. Now we deploy a default wallpaper and allow users to change it if they want.

25 years of Mac admin, 15 years of Casper/Jamf, not once at any of those organizations - typically set loginwindow background (RIP) and user background, but not lock.

Both yes and no. We actually us it to inform our user when their iPads are out of date. When a new update comes we let the users know and if they don't update their iPads the devices background goes all red. Ounce they update it can be set to whatever the user wants it to be.

No.  We'll set it to our corp. defaults, but not lock it.

no, we don't. But while the initiating rollout / enrollment, we serve a company wallpaper to the client and set it as default. The user can change the wallpaper, if wanted. The same procedure we do with the Dock. The users dock is configurated, but the user can change the dock items if he want.
