WMI Filtering

Jason

I'm trying to apply a group policy to computers that aren't named like using a wmi filter. However it tells me the syntax isn't correct. This guy even used the same one so has it changed or something? http://www.waynezim.com/2009/07/how-to-use-wmi-filtering-to-improve-group-policy-administration/

Yeah, the NOT is wrong, WQL doesn't contain a "not like" operator but you can move the not to the beginning of the condition to negate its       value. Thus, this will work
select * from Win32_computersystem where not (Name like "%W" or Name like "%W0[1-8]")

Dashrender

can you post your setting?

Worked like a charm
