Wmi query for group policy deployed software version

Question

I am trying to query the version of a deployed application within a GPO from active directory using wmi.
Anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks.

I don't think you can query GPO information using WMI, but you can use WMI to read Resultant Set of Policy settings. See
RSoP WMI Classes for more information.
Is there any particular reason for using WMI in your case? You can easily retrieve this information using powerShell. The code below will list name and ver of all software install entries of a particular GPO:
$gpo = get-gpo -Name "My GPO Name"
$report = [xml] $gpo.GenerateReport([Microsoft.GroupPolicy.ReportType]::Xml)
$report.gpo.Computer.ExtensionData.Extension | `
Where-Object{ $_.type.contains( "SoftwareInstall" ) } | `
foreach-object{
foreach( $item in $_.ChildNodes )
"`"{0}`" Ver. {1}.{2}" -F $item.name, $item.MajorVersion, $item.MinorVersion
