We create OU's and put the appropriate machines into them, so the GPO only gets run against what is in the OU, is this what you meant?

Is creating a GPO WMI filter and linking it to the GPO the easiest way to accomplish this? I know filters will not apply to machines running Windows 2000 (Or so I read) the GO would run anyway, and some machines are running 2000 Server so would be the best way to have this GO not run against and ever changing list of host running some version of 'Server" Thanks for your opinions Craig M.
