Does any know how to use a WMI filter for a GPO that will return true if
a registry value (not key) contains expected data.  We are essentially
trying to make startup scripts run once to resolve major issues.  In
that, once the script completed it's work, it writes to the registry,
then the WMI filter would prevent subsequent attempts to apply the GPO
(Denied WMI filter) if the registry entry contained the defined value.

Apparently direct access to the registry is not available in a class.
But the registry is exposed as a method in Root\CimV2
