$LogonPath = $env:LOGONSERVER + "\NETLOGON\BGInfo\Bginfo.exe" 
$ArguList = $env:LOGONSERVER + '\NETLOGON\BGInfo\BGIFILE.bgi /timer:0 /silent /nolicprompt '

Answer 1

Try this:

& "\\$env:LOGONSERVER\NETLOGON\BGInfo\Bginfo.exe" "\\$env:LOGONSERVER\NETLOGON\BGInfo\BGIFILE.bgi" /timer:0 /silent /nolicprompt

If the BGIFILE.bgi reside in the same location as Bginfo.exe then you can specify only the file name:

& "\\$env:LOGONSERVER\NETLOGON\BGInfo\Bginfo.exe" BGIFILE.bgi /timer:0 /silent /nolicprompt
