Different Start menus for different OS's

[turnerr12]

Hi, I am after a way of directing Students to a different Start Menu and Desktop depending on whether they log onto a Windows10 machine or a Windows7 machine. I have setup different GPOs for Win7 and Win10 with the redirected folders in. Would identifying the OS by a WMI filter and thus applying the correct GPO be the best way of doing this? And would I need to create a WMI filter for Win10 and one for Win7 and apply them both to the top level Students OU?

Thanks

Yup, WMI filtering is the way. Nice and easy, I do it here.

We created a WIM filter for each OS something like this

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

and a GPO for each OS to create an OSVer environment variable that can then be used with folder redirection and user profiles.

 

Hope this helps.
