server name in background

For windows server 2008, is there an easy way to put the server name in the background wallpaper?

I'd like it to display SERVER-A, SERVER-B etc...

I'd prefer not to buy anything or generate images.

Solution 1:

Yeah, BGInfo is probably the best way to go.

You can also have it display useful information like IP, MAC, domain, etc. You can set it up to update automatically at login with the sweet new task scheduler just set it to "At logon" for the trigger and "C:\Bginfo.exe bginfo.bgi /timer:0" for the action, where "C:\BGinfo.exe" is the path to where you have BGInfo.exe and "bginfo.bgi" is the full path to where you have your saved .bgi.

You can get bginfo by just googling, or by clicking here.

Solution 2:

You have an easy option: suck it up and create a simple wallpaper with that server's name on it only. Another choice is sysinternal's bginfo. Both are free.

Solution 3:

To be perfectly honest (and simple) I always rename the My Computer icon on the desktop to the server name.
