OS Version Queries for WMI Filters

NOTE: Updated Feb 13, 2020 to include Windows Server 2019

More likely than not, if you’re using Group Policy to push out software installation or registry entries to client machines or servers on the domain, the particular policy settings may be different depending on the OS version or architecture.

Examples, Group Policy Objects may need to be filtered by:

Desktop OS / Server OS
Domain Controller / Non-Domain Controller
32-bit / 64-bit

If you haven’t used Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) filters before, they show up in Group Policy Management at the bottom, between Group Policy Objects and Starter GPOs.

The WMI filters use a query to scope down the Group Policy Object applicability. Here’s what a typical WMI OS filter looks like:

WMI Win32_OperatingSystem ProductType Tips:

ProductType 1 = Desktop OS

ProductType 2 = Server OS – Domain Controller

ProductType 3 = Server OS – Not a Domain Controller

WMI Win32_OperatingSystem Version Number Tips:

5.1 – Windows XP

5.2 – Windows Server 2003

5.2.3 – Windows Server 2003 R2

6.0 – Windows Vista & Windows Server 2008

6.1 – Windows 7 & Windows Server 2008 R2

6.2 – Windows 8 & Windows Server 2012

6.3 – Windows 8.1 & Windows Server 2012 R2

10.0 – Windows 10 & Windows Server 2016 & 2019

To create your own WMI filters, here is an updated list of WMI filter queries from Window XP – Windows 10 and from Server 2003 to Server 2019.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
Always test your Group Policies and WMI filters before deploying.

* A few notes about the “OR” operator:

First – The reason for the “OR” statements in Server 2016 and Server 2019 WMI Query Filters is because there are multiple builds, as shown in the table below. These multiple builds are part of Microsoft’s Windows as a service (Waas) plan.

Second – “Or” combines two conditions. When more than one logical operator is used in a statement, the OR operators are evaluated after the AND operators. (Source)

Download – Windows Security Audit Events Spreadsheet

Title: Windows Security Audit Events Spreadsheet
Published: 12/02/2015
Publisher: Microsoft Corporation
Version: November 2015
File name: WindowsSecurityAuditEvents.xlsx
Size: 70 KB
Download URL: Click here for download

Pop Quiz:

1) What’s the Event ID for an Account Lockout?

2) What about the Event ID denoting that permissions were changed on an object?

3) Or the Event ID for locking or unlocking a workstation?

Don’t worry, I can’t remember those off the top of my head either. And that usually means sifting through bookmarked links, PDFs or hitting Google to look it up.

Fortunately, Microsoft has an Excel spreadsheet detailing 412 different Event IDs related to Windows Security Audit Events. Those 400+ Event IDs are broken up into the following nine categories:

Account Logon
Account Management
Detailed Tracking
DS Access
Logon/Logoff
Object Access
Policy Change
Privilege Use
System

Another example but in this case physical casino security personnel will be on top of the barricades and they will be patrolling the building, like hvad er et pund i danske kroner.

In an unprecedented move, officials in the city of Valencia launched a national protest. The protest, attended by more than 30,000 people, was organized on social media across the country in support of the new law.

The protesters included representatives from local government districts, the local media, social media and religious institutions including faith clubs.

The spreadsheet also contains a tab with a complete description of the event message. This is a great tool for creating event monitors. Download and enjoy!
