GPO not working for new Users (Background)

Terminal Server 2012 in a hosted environment

I've set the below policy to set a default background wich can be changed by the users after this.

The target is an networkdrive. (The Reason behind this is that we have multiple resellers that all have the same networkdrive but pointing to a different store) Lets just say for this example that is P:/Background/ResellerBackground.jpg

The policy is Linked to the Resellers OU.

This works perfectly for all the existing users.

For new users this is not working at all. It does run the policy but it create the profile after running the policies.

So the above setting gets overruled by the default windows server 2012 background. The RunOnce atribute is set now, so it will not load it again.

I have read a lot of different sollutions so far, but none are working in this environment. (From changing the default Hive to changing the default picture etc)

One sollution came close, but not working perfectly either, this is removing the RunOnce atribute from the register, and letting the new users log in again. You do not wanna let new users login twice.

Before Windows 7/8/2012, in XP it just copied the default user and then the policies ran. So here the problem does not exist. Now it makes the profile after running the policies.

Anyone having an idea to resolve this issue?
