WMI Filter - Laptops & Desktops

[FN-GM]

Hello,

 

I am trying to separate 2 polices. One for laptops (and tablets etc) and one for desktops.

 

I have this WMI that should pick out the laptops.

 

Select * from Win32_Battery WHERE (BatteryStatus = 0)

 

Is anyone able to help with the battery status number to use for computers without a battery please? I have tried 1 and 2 and it isn't that.

 

Thanks

Actually the above is filtered on laptops as well. Odd.

You could try Win32_ComputerSystem or Win32_SystemEnclosure as an alternative to Win32_Battery since the latter will be unreliable if the battery in a laptop is dead or faulty.

 

Desktop

SELECT PCSystemType FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE PCSystemType = 1

 

Mobile

SELECT PCSystemType FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE PCSystemType = 2

 

For Win32_SystemEnclosure see also: List of Win32_SystemEnclosure Chassis Types

Thanks

 

Number 2 is unknown?

 

How would one use multiple numbers please?

I have edited my post above.

 

I was getting the numbers for Win32_ComputerSystem PCSystemType confused with Win32_SystemEnclosure Chassis Types.

Thanks - but you still have 2 in there for mobile?

 

Sorry if I am being stupid and missed something.

Could you use / detect chassis type?

That's what Arthur is suggesting (I think) but I am confused around the syntax. I guess I would have to list multiple types such as Notebook, Docking Station and Tablet?

 

Thanks
