Hi,

I'm asking a lot of stupid questions today, but please bear with me, it
won't get worse than this!

We use unattended or RIS installation, and today, whenever a server is an
administrator logs on and performs a few tasks that we haven't been able to
automate yet.

When deploying servers we include a branded desktop wallpaper, and one of
the manual tasks is to edit the wallpaper (using Paint) to include the
server name etc..

Questions:
* Is there any way to script the editing of the wallpaper file?
* Or are there any utilities out there which can perform this task?
* Or alternatively, is there another (smarter) way to have the server name
and other info displayed in a similar fashion as when using a wallpaper?

Any input highly appreciated!

Thanks,
Jørn
