I hope I'm posting in the right place.

I have a GPO in a Windows mixed mode AD network that I would like to apply,
but my WMI filter query seems to be having problems. We want to redirect the
My Documents folder for all the users to the network (this part is working
properly). The problem is that I don't want the redirection to occur if the
users' log into terminal services to another server.

My plan is to use a WMI filter to deny policy application if the computer
name matches the names of our terminal services servers. My query looks like
this:
Select * from W32_ComputerSystem where Name = "<server name>".

When I link this filter to the GPO, the GPResult shows that the GPO was
denied due to the filter. If the filter is removed from the GPO, redirection
occurs properly. Where am I going wrong?

TIA
Ken

Kmkrause2,

You may want to check the case of your 'Where Name = "<server name>"'. In
this statement, the server name is case sensitive

If you have already tested and know the case is correct, let me know.
Also please look at this link:

Ignore my last reply.. Queries are case-INsensitive.

So.. When you run as GPO result on the affected computer what is the result?
