How to block XP Pro client machines from logging into Windows 2008 domain
Hello
We support a clients Windows 2008 network - 60-70 users. We have upgraded all of their current client machines to Window 7 x64. With XP support expiring shortly we would like to be able to block XP client machines from logging into the network. Some of the users are reconnecting old workstations/laptops to the network and we wish to block this activity.
Is there a Windows 2008 group policy that will allow a minimum client OS to be enforced?
Many thanks in advance.

hello
Using powershel you can have a list of all windows XP computers in the domain
Get-ADComputer -Filter {OperatingSystem -Like "Windows Server*"} -Property * | Format-Table Name,OperatingSystem,Opera tingSystem ServicePac k -Wrap -Auto| out-file c:\temp\complist.txt.
Dont forget to load AD module before
import-module ActiveDirectory
but the most perfect solution is that one:
