I imagine that the best way to do this would be to set up
a group policy using the Microsoft Management Console (go
to gpedit.msc from Start>Run). Next, go to User
Configuration>Administrative Templates>Desktop>Active
Desktop. Enable active desktop and then enable active
desktop wallpaper and specify which wallpaper to use.

What do you use to set up your machines? Do you use Norton
Ghost and load one image onto all machines? If you do
that, it should work to just set up active desktop
wallpaper on your image and it should be present on all of
the machines you push that image out to.
