I'd create the Workstations OU and the Servers OU. Then write a script that looks at each of the machines in the computers container, and based on what you find in the operatingSystem attribute have the script move the object to the appropriate OU.
I'd also not leave new computer objects in the computers container. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harding, Devon Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 4:04 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] GPO on XP & 2000 Pro I have over 2000 machines in my computers containers.

Your best bet is probably to put all the XP & win2k machines in one security group and then security filter the GPO based on that group (i.e. remove the Authenticated Users ACE from the sec. filter on that GPO and add the new group with Read and Apply GP permissions). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harding, Devon Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 2:40 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] GPO on XP & 2000 Pro How can I get a GPO to only run on all Windows XP and 2000 Pro. machines in a domain? WMI Filter is applied to 2000 machines so it'll run on 2000 server if I filter by OS type.
