I’m trying to create a GPO programatically using the GPMC COM object via C#

  • 0

I’m trying to create a GPO programatically using the GPMC COM object via C# code. I can create the GPO, but I’m having trouble “inserting” a WMI filter with the GPO. Does anyone know how I can create/update WMI filters for GPOs?

    Here’s the sample code:

    GPMGMTLib.GPM gPM = new GPMGMTLib.GPM(); 
GPMConstants gPMConstants = gPM.GetConstants(); 
GPMDomain gPMDomain = gPM.GetDomain(domainName, DC, gPMConstants.UseAnyDC); 
GPMGPO obj = gPMDomain.CreateGPO(); 
obj.DisplayName = "New GPO";


//replace with the appropiate GUID
var strWMIFilterID = "{D715559A-7965-45A6-864D-AEBDD9934415}";
var sWMIFilter = string.Format("MSFT_SomFilter.Domain=\"{0}\",ID=\"{1}\"", domainName, strWMIFilterID);

var oWMIFilter = gPMDomain.GetWMIFilter(sWMIFilter); 
obj.SetWMIFilter(oWMIFilter);
