Tip #1: Before you you start I would check out the WithinWindows article that goes into more details on how this option is configured at WithInWindows: Windows 7 to officially support logon ui background customization.

This may be a much nicer balance for your user and management as you can still have your corporate branding applied to your computers but still allow the users to have their own custom background image when they are logged on. While I know some of you might loath having to set a wallpaper for your users computers as like myself you like to have the freedom to change this setting. Unlike the normal Background option the Logon UI Background is only show when the computer is not logged on or when it is locked.

Since I posted my Best Practice: Using Group Policy to configure Desktop Wallpaper (“Background”) a few of you have asked for me to do a post showing how to configure the Windows 7 Logon UI Background wallpaper.
