I prefer this method for inclusions and exclusions, although it is less 
automatic.

I was meaning to exclude DC's since all my DC's are Windows 2008 R2 SP1.  This 
was more targeted for Windows 2003 Member servers, since they and I just 
learned Windows 2008 servers will not obey the advance audit settings that are 
reserved for Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7. So I had to create different Audit 
Policy GPO's and filter them accordingly.

Do appreciate the advice on the WMI filter as always.

I would do it this way:

                select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where version like '5.%' 
and name like '%server%'

Your query excludes domain controllers. Dunno whether that's what you intended 
or not. The WMI class is documented here:

Just a quick question, for those filtering with WMI filters. I am using the 
following for a Windows 2003 Filter, does anyone else have anything else that 
works a bit better or know that its valid.

select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Version like "5.%" and ProductType = 
"3"
