FYI - a Tablet-PC is identified as type "14" which according to the SystemEnclosure documentation is a Subnotebook. This is the same for Tablet-PCs with and without the keyboard attached.

M�rz 2003 16:58 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Identifying laptops on domain Worked for us just fine in our initial testing. We are planning on moving all the laptops to their own sub-OU to make change management a little easier for us. Thanks for all of the fine suggestions, folks! Depending on the level of accuracy we see in further testing we may use some of the other suggestions, such as battery, pcmcia services, etc, as a further check... like when WMI returns "Other" for the chassis type value. Anyone know what the new "tablet" pc's return as chassis type, or care to hazard a guess? We don't have any on the wire yet that I am aware of, but it is just a matter of time! Regards, John A.

I suspect this not to help much on NT4 machines, but for Win2k and XP this really is your best bet (I tested against XP notebook and Win2k3 Server on a Desktop enclosure - both reported back the correct value). I've added a simple select statement to get the appropriate text-feedback - see attached script (remove dashes...). Be good to hear from others, if this also works well on their machines. /Guido -----Original Message----- From: Bjelke John A Contr AFRL/VSIO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Freitag, 7.

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colChassis = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("SELECT * FROM Win32_SystemEnclosure") For Each objChassis in colChassis For Each intType in objChassis.ChassisTypes Wscript.Echo intType Next Next Where chassis type is one of 24 possible values. Seems like this might be the magic bullet, but I definately need to test. Thanks for the suggestion! Regards, John A.

We have a circumstance that requires laptops to be addressed differently from workstations, and we have been unable to find any consistent variable to poll for this determination.
