Your Windows 2000 clients won't be able to read the WMI filters no matter what DC they authenticate to. The Vista clients should be fine regardless of which DC authenticates them - WMI filters are not a new Windows 2008 function. If the Vista clients aren't getting policies when they authenticate to Windows 2003 DCs, check replication.

Where are the options in the GPO, where I can mentioned i.e. DC1, DC2, DC3 and DC4 only.
