In Group Policy Manager when a WMI filter is created an error message is displayed:
Either the namespace entered is not a valid namespace on the local computer or you do not have access to this namespace on this computer. It is possible this is a valid namespace on the remote computer)s). If you wish to use this namespace, press OK. Press cancel to choose another namespace.
I am signed on as the domain administrator. This domain is Server 2012 R2.
The namespace is the common root\cimv2. When the browse button is pressed many namespaces are listed. The error occurs no mater what namespace is selected.
Even if the error message is ignored and the wmi filter is created. For windows 8 clients, wmi filters fail even though they should pass.
Select * from win32_operatingsystem where version like "6.%" will evaluate to false.
This is happening on two Server 2012 R2 domains.
Has anyone seen this? Is there a fix?
