| I wanted to distribute aGPO that affects users with Office 2007 and 2010
[may have just mixed also, ie Visio 2007 but Office 2003] so was looking to
see if there was a concensus on a filter or the best method to have the
policy apply to only thsoe folks running Office 2007, 2010 or components
of].
Thanks in advance.

| Craig,
You might want to double-check the exact registry settings actually configured by your different Office applications. Historically, many of the Office settings have been located in separate registry trees for different versions of the office suites (...\Office10\..., ...\Office11\..., ...\Office12\...). In short, you may not need to filter at all (hey, it's worth a 'quick' check).

Thanks. I had read tat previously which prompted me to ask the question. My GPO only sets configs with users running Office 2007 or 2010 so I wanted to aviod trying to set the policy on a user running something else hence the filter. So if not W32_Product then what?

Depending on what you're hoping to accomplish with your GPO, item-level targeting in Group Policy Preferences might be a better way to go.

| Yeah, Jerry is right and even if you apply policy settings for a product that is not installed, they'll just sit there and mind their own business. It won't hurt anything. You'd take much more of a performance hit trying to filter the GPOs.

I will add that if you happen to be using SCCM on your client, it actually installs a WMI Provider that contains a class-if I remember correctly-of something like Win32_InstalledProduct. That class performs much better than Win32_Product if you wanted to use a WMI filter.

| Darren,
The class you're referring to is Win32Reg_AddRemovePrograms, and yes, it works very nicely for WMI filters. Keep in mind it is just an enumeration of whatever is in Add/Remove Programs, so there is a chance it won't always be 100% accurate. However, in the case of MS Office, it should be.
