Teams - Automatic Background deployment

[Joe Savage]

Hi there,

Just wondering if this is an option. I attempted to do the following with batch, but didn't work due to the %appdata% value resolving to somewhere in C:\Windows.

mkdir %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads
copy "\\SERVER\SHARE\Teams Backup Images\*.jpg" %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads /y

 

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Joe

Bump!

I've banged my head against this and found something workable. Just dumps the pictures from the server into every user folder under C:\users. Bypasses the need to pass %username% or %appdata% properly.

cd C:\users
for /f %%i in ('dir /b') do mkdir c:\users\%%i\appdata\roaming\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads
for /f %%i in ('dir /b') do copy "\\SHARED SERVER LOCATION\*.jpg" C:\users\%%i\appdata\roaming\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads /y

Hope this helps someone eventually!

Cheers,

Joe
