I am running Windows 2012 Datacenter as the DC.
For Windows 10 I need to configure the default lock screen post-deployment. I have followed Microsoft's tips to go to " Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization > Force a specific default lock screen image."
I see the setting is there on the local Windows 10 box, but I want to configure it from our DC and deploy it through group policy. However, the setting does not exist. I have added the most recent ADMX settings to replicate between multiple DCs. Other settings exist to control Win 10, just not this one.
Is there a setting I missed to configure? Could it be that I'm running the Data Center edition?

You're missing all of the settings in the Personalization group of the Control Panel node. All of these settings are stored in the
controlpaneldisplay.admx
file. Some things to try:controlpaneldisplay.admx
file to the location where your Group Policy MMC expects it (either the local machine's Policy Store or a Central Store configured in your environment.)Finally, once you do get the Control Panel settings loaded, be aware that the policy setting Force a specific default lock screen image has been renamed to Force a specific default lock screen and logon image in the Windows Server 2016/Windows 10 Group Policy .ADMX files.
