WMI Filters are a useful tool when using Group Policy.
WMI Filters allow you to target specific classes of objects.
For examply, say you create a policy that you want to only apply to Domain Controllers
SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE ProductType = 2
Or more importantly you have a policy that you want to exclude Domain Controllers
SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE ProductType <> 2
Or you want to target Laptops
SELECT * FROM Win32_Battery WHERE (BatteryStatus <> 0)
This WMI Filter users WMI to discover the workstations 'BatteryStatus', If the battery status is not 0 (a battery is present) then consider the device a laptop.
