Updated List of OS Version Queries for WMI Filters

The WMI filters use a query to scope down the application of the Group Policy Object applicability. Here’s what a typical WMI OS filter looks like:


WMI Win32_OperatingSystem ProductType Tips:

ProductType 1 = Desktop OS
ProductType 2 = Server OS – Domain Controller
ProductType 3 = Server OS – Not a Domain Controller

WMI Win32_OperatingSystem Version Number Tips:

5.1 – Windows XP
5.2 – Windows Server 2003
5.2.3 – Windows Server 2003 R2
6.0 – Windows Vista & Windows Server 2008
6.1 – Windows 7 & Windows Server 2008 R2
6.2 – Windows 8 & Windows Server 2012
6.3 – Windows 8.1 & Windows Server 2012 R2

To create your own WMI filters, here is an updated list of WMI filter queries from Window XP – Windows 8.1 and from Server 2003 to Server 2012 R2.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
Always test your Group Policies and WMI filters before deploying.
