Re: policy only for windows xp

Hello
This is a design issue that prevent us from doing this with Windows 2000.
Since Windows 2000 clients can't handle WMI filtering they by some reason always return true and makes the policy effect the client running Windows 2000 even if we ask for Windows XP.

If they designed it the other way that Windows2000 always returned false there haven't been a problem :(

Best way here is probably to take use of separate OUs for Windows XP and Windows 2000.
