How do I apply Microsoft GPOs to one of several different operating systems I manage through the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC)?
As viewed through the Microsoft Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), applying GPOs to specific Windows operating systems can be accomplished using a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) filter (WMI filtering is only recognized on Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003). More specifically, create a WMI filter that selects applicable operating systems, and link that filter to the GPO applicable for those operating systems. If computers with Windows 2000 or previous Windows operating systems are present within the enterprise, these computers must be granted exception from the group policy using the Deny Read and Deny Apply Group Policy settings.
