Group Policy WMI filters for Windows 7/8/8.1/10

Posted by

Every now and then during Windows 10 deployments we need to use WMI filters for group policy objects, there are simply no better way of doing this, without a lot of work. WMI is simple to use and demands little maintenance.

There WMI filters may also come handy since there are group policy settings that only applies to one or two builds.

So here are some examples, ready to use for all operating system.

There are three queries for all operating system, 64-bit, 32-bit and both.

Note! Due to performance do NOT use Select * instead use Select Version as in the queries below, Why? See this article Using group policy WMI filters computers booting slow?

  1. I still get a syntax error even replacing all the quotes.

    Would these work as well?

    Win 7:
    select * from Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Version like “6.1%” AND ProductType=”1″

    Win 10:
    select * from Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Version like “10.%” AND ProductType=”1″

    1. Oh I figured it out, just hadn’t had my coffee yet.

      each line has to be added separately. I was trying to add all three at one go.
