RE: [ActiveDir] WMI Filter

[Figueroa, Johnny]

I thought WMI filters could only be evaluated by XP or 2003 ?, 2000, NT will ignore the filter and apply.

Subject: [ActiveDir] WMI Filter

I think I did something wrong... I was using this WMI filter on a GPO:

 

"select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Caption = "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" OR Caption = "Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional""

 

I was doing this to keep this GPO from applying to server operating systems, and when I tested it with Windows 2003 and XP and 2000 Pro, everything seemed to be fine. Well, I just tested it with a couple of 2000 Advanced Server boxes and the policy is applying. DId I do something wrong with the filter? Is caption not the best method to filter by OS?

 

Thanks,
