I am probably asking this incorrectly, how can I apply a GPO to only
Windows 2000 machines [the OU I am attaching this to only has machines
running 2000 Server not Pro, and 2003].
Thanks,
Craig

Hello everyone, WMI Filters are supported on Windows XP and Windows
Server 2003. Since they are not supported on Windows 2000, any WMI
Filter associated with a GPO is ignored on this platform and the GPO is
applied.
