Ok. So, you could also use this:
Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem Where BuildNumber< 6000 Since Vista's build # is 6000, that should exclude all Vista systems. Just an FYI that I have a little utility that I wrote that you can download, that lets you test WMI Filters against live systems to see how they will evaluate.

I also want it to be dynamic (I don't want to manually add computers to groups) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Mar-Elia Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 12:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Exclude Vista from GPO Right, or security group filtering where you create a security group that includes all your Vista machines and deny it Apply Group Policy rights on that GPO. If you use a WMI Filter, then, assuming all the targets are XP, you would do something like this: Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem Where Caption = "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" (or you could query on Build Number) Darren From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Laura A.

The problem is there is a different version for Vista and I want to exclude that GPO from running on Vista machines.
