| GPO Gurus...
I want to create a GPO that will only apply for specific platforms, ex. 2003 Server EE. I linked this in the WMI filter section of the GPO and it still ends up getting applied to all OSes.
Namespace:
root\CIMv2
Query:
SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Caption="Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Server 2003, Enterprise Edition"
Sorry, I'm a WMI newb.. what am I missing here..
Thanks!

| Two approaches:
1) Google:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=GPO+%22WMI+filter%22+%22Wi
n32_OperatingSystem%22
2) Run a WMI VBScript on a WS2003 EE system to find out exactly
what the caption you need is:
http://www.google.com/search?q=vbscript%20wmi%20"WIN32_OperatingSystem"

| Ahh, I guess I saw that one coming...
My problem is I thought I had the right query (referenced below) and method of application, but for some reason what eludes me is that it the GPO is not working as intended.
Thanks.

| You might be better using other WMI exposed attributes of
Win32_OperatingSystem
See these (I added "Server 2003" to my google search to narrow it down,
fwiw)

| Rand-
Just an FYI that I wrote a free utility that you can use to test WMI Filters
on specific machines. Its at www.gpoguy.com/wmiftest.htm.
Also, when testing for OS version, I typically use the BuildNumber property
on Win32_OperatingSystem unless I am looking for a very particular SKU
within a given platform. In that case, a LIKE query on the Caption can work.
