I have a GPO which I want to only apply to servers so I set up a WMI filter with the following 3 scripts:


select * from Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Version LIKE "5.2%" AND ( ProductType = "2" or ProductType = "3" )


select * from Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Version LIKE "6.0%" AND ( ProductType = "2" or ProductType = "3" )


select * from Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Version LIKE "6.1%" AND ( ProductType = "2" or ProductType = "3" )

The above scripts should apply to Server 2003, Server 2008 & Server 2008 R2 domain controllers & member servers. However when I test the GPO it doesn’t appear to be working.

If I just have x1 of the scripts in the filter they all work fine independently.

Does anyone know why this is not working with all the scripts on the filter?

No single machine can pass all three conditions and therefore the policy will never be applied.

You should create a WMI-filter containing a single "WHERE" clause for this WMI class and use the OR operator, instead of using the three "WHERE" clauses.
sample;

select * from Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE (Version LIKE "5.2%" OR Version LIKE "6.0%" OR Version LIKE "6.1%") AND (ProductType = 2 OR ProductType = 3)

Rems - Thanks for this I had a feeling it was something simple in the script.

Have some points
