This may not mean much using a GPO though. Also in reading the TechNet document you referred to, I appears it is targeted for servers rather than PCs. I'm a GPO novice (at best), and I very well maybe missing something. These permissions need to be assigned to a folder on the C: drive of the local Win7 PC, no server involvement. windows event log Can I target just Win7-64 PCs using the GPO? 0 Serrano OP Don7478 May 22, 2012 at 12:10 UTC Yes you can target whatever Windows OS you want. In Active Directory I'm assuming you have an OU that contains all of your targeted workstations? I was trying to find a way to do this with Group Policy Preferences because it's much more selective in how you "target" it. 0 Anaheim OP PaulG103 May 22, 2012 at 12:28 UTC Actually we have an OU for each dept in city hall (15) plus pulic services, utilities, police and fire. We are distributing the Win7 PCs based on the age of existing PCs. Therefore the Win7 PCs are all over the place mixed with mainly WinXP and some W2k PCs. I guess at this point nothing is going to be easy. All our PCs are connected to a domain and have unique names (obviously), therfore could I use PC names rather than OUs? 0 Serrano OP Don7478 May 22, 2012 at 12:33 UTC You can use WMI filters to target the operating system and it seems pretty straight-forward. Give this a read and see what you think: http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/1432 0 Serrano OP Best Answer Don7478 May 22, 2012 at 12:42 UTC Scratch using WMI filtering since you have 2K machines(REALLY? wow!) Create a Security Group and put all the Win7 machines in it. Create your policy. Link enable it to the highest level
