And by laptop I meant batterystatus.

Select * from Win32_Battery where Batterystatus > 0

Good to know, thanks for the confirmation Mike and Jeff.

This is why I prefer to use the wmi check, if laptop > 0% for laptops.

I don't work with servers, so I haven't been in a situation to see this.  
You're probably right on both counts though.  Based on HP's inconsistencies on 
the desktop/laptop front I wouldn't put it passed them to be too relaxed on 
setting the proper chassis type.

It's a "bug" in MDT in that it is perhaps more of "old code" that hasn't been 
looked at recently to take into account sloppy hardware vendors.  ;-)

Anyone ran across this before? We have some HP servers that are coming up as 
IsLaptop=TRUE and IsServer=FALSE because the ChassisType is 18, "Expansion 
Chassis".

According to ZtiGather.wsf, the only server is ChassisType 23.

                                                                If not 
IsNull(objInstance.SMBIOSAssetTag) then
                                                                                
sAssetTag = Trim(objInstance.SMBIOSAssetTag)
                                                                End if
                                                                Select Case 
objInstance.ChassisTypes(0)
                                                                Case "8", "9", 
"10", "11", "12", "14", "18", "21"
                                                                                
bIsLaptop = true
                                                                Case "3", "4", 
"5", "6", "7", "15", "16"
                                                                                
bIsDesktop = true
                                                                Case "23"
                                                                                
bIsServer = true
                                                                Case Else
                                                                                
' Do nothing
                                                                End Select

But looking at the options logically, I would think 17-23 would all be servers, 
except for maybe 21 which could be a docking station.

17

Main System Chassis

18

Expansion Chassis

19

Sub Chassis

20

Bus Expansion Chassis

21

Peripheral Chassis

22

Storage Chassis

23

Rack Mount Chassis


I know I can edit ZtiGather, but I really don't want to do that. Does this look 
like a MDT bug or just hardware not setting the proper ChassisType?
