Force a specific default lock screen and logon image/ Batch/PowerShell

Question

_{Sunday, February 25, 2018 8:17 AM}

So where I work, I am trying to educate end users on where to take defective devices. In doing so I have created a custom background and am manually going into Edit Group Policy to edit "Force a specific default lock screen and logon image." I have over over 2000 devices in this facility and only about 150 need this change enforced. So a mass group policy change is not on the table.

Is it possible to create a batch file or powershell file that could simplify this task by simply running as admin? If so please point me into the right direction!! I'm new to AD/SCCM/PowerShell so I'd like to learn (if possible) how to create a file doing this request. It would also help me learn how to simplify other daily tasks my colleagues and I undertake. Thanks in advance!

In fact, your GPO method is ok, just need to create a specific OU that including those 150 machines, apply Force a specific default lock screen and logon image policy to this OU, other devices will not be influenced.

On the other hand, I find out these two cases, using script method, but seems to be a little complex.
