Is it actually valid to do a >= comparison on a string? I suppose it will do a binary comparison, but the OS Version value is a string.

BTW, you forgot ProductType==2 - Domain Controller.

Is this safe to assume it will continue to funciton for future service packs, and future versions of windwos won't be caaught by the same WMI filter?

I'm suprised Vista isn't defined by name somewhere.

If I change my WMI filter, and a computer was affected by the GP both before and after the change, it will not do anythign strang like re-apply the object, right? It will just continue to apply?

Thanks!
