Windows 10 & 7 mixed user GPO's

[jertsy]

Hi

 

How do you guys manage GPO's accross a mixed windows 7 & 10 environment? I am going to segregate the PC polices by OU i.e. windows 7 clients and windows 10 clients but I have been thinking about user GPO settings i.e. folder redirection as the desktop is different, I know you can use WMI filters but I have read that this can slow the logon down.

Any advice please?

Use WMI filters. It will mean you can apply a GPO to a specific OS. You also won't have to separate out OU's for computers.

 

Windows 10:

 

SELECT Version,ProductType FROM Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Version LIKE "10.%" AND ProductType="1"

 

Windows 7:

 

select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Version like "6.1%" and ProductType = "1"

Thanks for that, have you ever seen any bootup\logon speed degregation by using WMI?
