Right. In this case if you want a GPO to apply ONLY to Win2K then a filter
excluding anything else is good and in that case my previous comment about the
Win2K server caption reallly makes no sense since any query that excludes
XP/2003 will work for 2K but you can't necessarily filter on Win2K server vs.
ws.

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.
