Windows 10 GPO

[ITGURU]

Just got the PolicyDefinitions copied over to the server to update the store, and a virtual machine copy of Windows 10 installed.

 

Does it make any difference if I've set Windows 10 settings in the User policy that will be in the same GPO when users log on to a Windows 7 PC still, or is it recommended to create a new Policy just for the Windows 10 settings?

Personally I did a copy of our Windows 7 GPO and used WMI filters to seperate the Win7 and Win10 GPO's. I then stripped a load of old stuff out of my copied-Win10 GPO and did the customisation. I think it is a good idea to keep them seperate!

Hi How did you set the WMI Filter for windows 10 only, I had problems I think due to version numbers?

I can't remember where I got them from but here are the 3 WMI queries I use:

 

Win 10 (any)

select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where (Version like "10%") and ProductType = "1"

 

Win7 32-bit

select * from Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Version like "6.1%" AND ProductType="1" AND NOT OSArchitecture = "64-bit"

 

Win 7 64-bit

select * from Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Version like "6.1%" AND ProductType="1" AND OSArchitecture = "64-bit"

Ah that's interesting I had mine set to "10.%"

Btw, you can speed up those WMI queries quite a bit by changing the asterisk to the specific class properties you need to query.

That's what it should be.
