Whoops, forgot I stopped looking for <folder> and started looking for Name so I could speed it up with a full path. Select * from Win32_Directory Where Name = 'C:\\Program Files\\Folder' works immediately, but Select * from Win32_Directory Where Name <> 'C:\\Program Files\\Folder' takes forever? Any reason why that's hard to search for, I am guessing because of the way I wrote it, its comparing everything to the statement? jlc
From: Joseph L. Casale [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 10:49 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: WMI Filter Help I created two filters: Select * from Win32_Directory Where Filename = 'C:\\Program Files\\Folder' Select * from Win32_Directory Where Filename <> 'C:\\Program Files\\Folder' and set two gpo's to apply based on this. For some reason, all the machines evaluate positive and falsely for both and switch constantly for one combination to another? What's up with that? Anyone got any ideas? I was going to search Win32_Product for the msi, but it apparently didn't install via msi so looking for this folder seems to be the best option...
