Alternatively, you could create a dynamic security group in Active Directory for all Windows 7 devices and set the permission on the GPO to only that group to limit the number of devices that run the script specified in the GPO. Only Windows 7 devices will run the GPO, but all will be targeted. All devices will see this GPO and process the WMI filter. Note: In the example below, the GPO is named Windows7_ESU and it is linked at the root of the domain. The best way to resolve this is to ensure that you are applying the ESU key to Windows 7 Pro, Enterprise, or Ultimate and reinstall each of the prerequisites individually.Ĭreate a WMI-filtered Group Policy Object

Microsoft has another reason to be optimistic - phone purchasers today are really buying mobile computers with poor battery life (a historical weakness for Windows CE), dubious call quality (ditto) but high functionality (a traditional CE strength).
