How to Deploy Custom Wallpapers via Intune Using a Win32 Package

Customizing wallpapers and lock screens on company devices can significantly enhance your brand presence and ensure a consistent visual experience across your organization. For enterprises with Windows Enterprise licenses, this customization is straightforward using Intune's Settings Catalog or local Group Policy Objects (GPOs). However, companies using Microsoft 365 Business Premium licenses face some limitations as these customizations aren't directly available. Thankfully, there's an effective workaround: deploying wallpapers using Win32 packages with Intune.

This guide will walk you through the process of deploying custom wallpapers on Windows 10 and 11 devices using Intune and a prepared Win32 package.

Why Use a Win32 Package?

Using a Win32 package to set wallpapers offers several advantages:

• No Web Server Required: You can include your image files directly within the package, eliminating the need for external hosting.
• Flexibility: Easily update or change wallpapers by modifying the package.
• Control: Ensure that the wallpapers cannot be changed by end-users once deployed.

Prerequisites

1. Windows 10/11 Enterprise License: While this method can work on devices without Enterprise licenses, advanced customization through Intune's Settings Catalog requires Enterprise.
2. Admin Access: To deploy apps via Intune, you need administrative privileges within your Microsoft Intune portal.

1. Prepare Your Wallpaper Package

I’ve created a PowerShell script to automate wallpaper deployment. You can find the script in my GitHub repository. Here's how to customize it:

• Include Your Images: Add your desired image files (JPG or PNG) to the package. Ensure they are named appropriately and placed in the "Wallpaper" folder.
• Modify the Script: Open Install.ps1 and update line 5 with the correct name of your wallpaper image. Follow the structure shown in the example folder images:Image-1: Folder structureImage-2:?Data FolderImage-3: Install scriptImage-4: Uninstall script
