Gpo And Wmi Filtering In Win Srv 2003


Recommended Posts

Gents, I need your help.

I have a quite severe problem with WMI filtering in Windows Server 2003.

I have serveral group policies and I want these policies work on a different way on different computers.

For example: GPO for administators should change desktop to Actice Desktop with the Intreanet WEB page on workstation but keep intact it on servers, or I want apply a policy only on the servers, but not on workstations, etc.

To do it I tried to use GPO WMI filtering, but seems it does not work properly.

Since I have naming convention in my domain I entered a WQL filter as the followings to apply a GPO only on servers:

select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where Name like "S%"

(Workstation hostnames are always start with W, servers with S and so on...)

After I apply all these changes and I log on as domain admin on a server as administrator the GPO loads and the changes are made. Thats good, 'cause this is I wanted. BUT...

If I log on as admin on a workstation the same GPO applies on the workstation too. WHY???? I filtered out them. Doesn't matter what am I doing, I can't solve this issue.

Help me solving this problem.

Thans in advance.
