Hi,

i want to deploy windows firewall configuration to winxpsp2 clients with
gpo. Not all clients have sp2 so i was thinking to use WMI filter but i don't
know what code to use. Anyone can help?

Hi,

Non-WinXP SP2 computers will just disregard the GPO settings for the
WinXP SP2 firewall, so there is no need for any filtering really.

Ok, good to know. For the sake of curiosity, anyway, is there a way to
filter that?

Yes there is, the query:
Select Version,ServicePackMajorVersion from Win32_OperatingSystem where
Version >= '5.1.2600' and ServicePackMajorVersion >= '2'

Should do the trick.
