Sample WMI Filters for GPO in AD

Hereafter listed few filters I keep using on my projects.

Almost every client I’ve worked with had these filters implemented in their Group Policy Console of Windows Active Directory.

So I keep it here for faster access, and easier than searching for it every time on different sites on the the web.
