1
00:00:03,790 --> 00:00:09,160
Windows management's instrumentation fills us more commonly known as w where my forces are a useful

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:14,710
feature within group policy as they allow policies to be targeted to specific hardware requirements.

3
00:00:14,710 --> 00:00:17,710
This can also be used for software requirements if needed.

4
00:00:17,710 --> 00:00:22,870
For example you could apply a policy only to machines that have prerequisites software installed such

5
00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:24,770
as Microsoft Dot Net framework.

6
00:00:24,850 --> 00:00:29,830
For example if you had software that had specific memory or processor requirements to be able to run

7
00:00:29,950 --> 00:00:35,120
you could set the policy up so that it only installed on those systems that meet the minimum requirements.

8
00:00:35,260 --> 00:00:40,300
In the case of memory this would mean asking additional run to a machine that is less than the requirements

9
00:00:40,390 --> 00:00:45,430
would automatically make the computer meet the policy requirements and apply any relevant policies.

10
00:00:45,490 --> 00:00:51,180
The same would apply to adding a new processor or indeed any other hardware specified as a requirement.

11
00:00:51,190 --> 00:00:57,160
It's worth noting care that W might filters can also be used to restrict group policy application depending

12
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,870
on which operating system a computer is running most commonly in a real world setting.

13
00:01:01,870 --> 00:01:06,640
This option will be used to apply policies such as bit locker encryption which would only be needed

14
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,980
on what type computers are supposed to standard desktop machines.

15
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,290
Also as Bill locker only works on later versions of Windows.

16
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:18,880
This is where the operating system filter comes in useful to set up a W and I filter right click on

17
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,060
w where my filters are made click new.

18
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,310
You should then see the new w where my filter dialog box for our example.

19
00:01:25,310 --> 00:01:28,900
We're going to be restricting the policy to only Windows 10 machines.

20
00:01:28,930 --> 00:01:34,210
Once you've uttered the name and description click out in the query dialog box type in the relevant

21
00:01:34,210 --> 00:01:37,510
took the way my query click okay and then click save.

22
00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:43,420
You should then see the new filter inside the w when I fills his folder to apply the W on my filter

23
00:01:43,430 --> 00:01:45,270
you just create it to a GPO.

24
00:01:45,370 --> 00:01:51,100
Click on the GPO and then select the new filter from the W in my filter dropdown box at the bottom of

25
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:51,780
the screen.

26
00:01:51,850 --> 00:01:55,130
You will then be asked to confirm whether you wish to apply the filter.

27
00:01:55,150 --> 00:01:58,900
He asked to save changes W and I filter will that be applied.

28
00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:03,100
Now that we've gone over w my filters let's move on to start a GPO owes.
