An Environment Variable targeting item allows a preference item to be applied to computers or users only if the environment variable and value specified in the targeting item are equal. If Is Not is selected, it allows the preference item to be applied only if the environment variable and value specified in the targeting item are not equal or if the environment variable does not exist.

Additional considerations
- If you want to restrict the scope of multiple
preference items with a complex set of targeting items, you can
simplify configuration by using an environment variable. For
example, create an Environment Variable preference item that
generates a new environment variable with a value of 1, and apply
the targeting items to it. To apply the same targeting to other
preference items, add an Environment Variable targeting item to
those preference items, and configure it to require a value of 1
for the variable that you created using an Environment Variable
preference item.
- To reposition a targeting item within the
list of targeting items that you have applied to a preference item,
either drag the targeting item to a new position, or select the
targeting item and then click the Move Up arrow or Move
Down arrow.
- Preference items are available only in
domain-based GPOs.
