Graham- You're correct. GPMC focused on 2000 domain that is not ADPrepped will not present WMI filters as an option and, though I haven't tested it specifically, it should just show up when you do update the schema.

Would i be right to say that this would explain why, using GPMC on a Windows 2003 server , but in a Windows 2000 domain that has not been AD'prepped, i do not see the WMI filters underneath the domain 'branch' ? by corollary do i then need to do anything to the GPMC configuration after ADPREP is applied ? or does GPMC somehow query the directory on startup ??
