Win2K does not understand WMI filters at all, so it will process the GPO
regardless of what you put in the filter if its in a container where the GPO
is linked.

Sorry, hit sent before I wanted.....

 

Can I just use the filter below and add Windows 2000 Professional to it so
the GO only runs against machines that have Windows 2000 Pro or XP on them?

 

Root\CimV2; Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Caption = "Microsoft
Windows XP Professional"

Thanks.
Craig

I have a GPO I want to run all my machines except machines running "server".
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
