GPO WMI Filter to check if a machine is a server 2000 or 2003 and it is NOT a domain controler
Hi,
Someone great with WMI filters could comment on this. I want a "select * from" command for a WMI filter in AD GPO.
I want the filter to work in the "root\CIMV2" namespace of course. I want to check if the following is true;
A windows Server, 2000 or 2003 and NOT a domain Controler.
Thanks in advance.

I placed the solution on-line to the issue but I would not have reached the solution if the comment was not made about Windows 2000 abilities re WMI filters.

For Server 2003 and above only
Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where DomainRole = 3
As commented above the WMI filter will not work on a 2000 server at all.
I created a batch file and ran it in the logon section and made this policy only run at logon.
The script did a check fior the operating system then ignored windows 2000 domain controlers.
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%a in ('ver') do @set osversion=%%a
