Hmm...does the wmiftest.exe work on Vista? Gives me an Index error...
Well, that string may have worked as I did a gporesult and it stated
that it was filtered out.
The following GPOs were not applied because they were filtered out
-------------------------------------------------------------------
CA Unicenter
Filtering: Denied (WMI Filter)
WMI Filter: SWS XP Computers
Symantec Rollout
Filtering: Denied (WMI Filter)
WMI Filter: All Computers Except Vista

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. Its at www.gpoguy.com/wmiftest.htm

Well, I want the GPO to run on ALL machines EXCEPT Vista. I also want
it to be dynamic (I don't want to manually add computers to groups)

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)

Subject: [ActiveDir] Exclude Vista from GPO
I have a GPO set to install Symantec CE 10 on all machines on
startup. The problem is there is a different version for Vista and I
want to exclude that GPO from running on Vista machines. How can I do
this?
