Here is how to catch different Windows 10 OS release within WMI for GPO targeting
We used this the first time during a 1709 > 1909 Migration where we wanted to push customer startlayout.xml (Different new syntax and command for W10 1909)
with GPO ONLY to the 1909 clients. SBS/KMU seamless upgrades but often forget to handle GPO Policy side during the upgrade process. If you wan to modify
The start layout/start menu tiles this is often the first place you will need the WMI filters.
To effectively target various Windows 10 OS releases using WMI, we employed this method during a migration from 1709 to 1909. Our goal was to deploy a customized `startlayout.xml` specific to Windows 10 1909 due to its unique syntax and command requirements.
This approach proved particularly valuable in scenarios like Small Business Server (SBS) or Small to Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), where seamless upgrades are common but the management of Group Policy Object (GPO) policies is sometimes overlooked during the upgrade process. When you need to modify the start layout or start menu tiles, leveraging WMI filters becomes a pivotal step, especially when tailoring these changes exclusively to specific Windows 10 versions like 1909.
