| Craig,
Not sure if you're looking for something specific, but i'd suggest a WMI filter for the GPO. You culd simply query for a machine's OS caption - if it evaluates either 2000 or xp, apply the policy.
Cheers,
Florian

Hi Craig,
I've not used this in a production environment but I have quickly tried
the following filter in a test environment before to apply a certain GPO
to Windows XP SP3 machines only;
Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Caption = " Microsoft Windows
XP Professional" AND CSDVersion="Service Pack 3"
Also WMI filters are not processed by machines running Win2k. If a GPO
is filtered with a WMI filter, a Win2k machine will ignore the filter
and continue processing the GPO.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Patrick Leathen

| Craig,
(not sure why this mail didn't come through - I was on the train when I
initially sent it)
I don't know what kind of filter you're looking for but would suggest you
try a WMI filter. You could use the OS version captions to filter between
2000/XP machines and other machines. Another approach would be querying for
the build number, like:
SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE BuildNumber >= '2600' (XP)
SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE BuildNumber >= '2195' (2000)
There surely are other ways but I guess using WMI is - as long as you can't
just separate the machines into specific OS sorted OUs - your best bet.
Cheers,
Florian
