Another GPO independent option is to check the registry for the existance of the PCMCIA key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pcmcia you'll likely find this on every laptop, but hardly on any desktops. Not 100% but pretty close. /Guido -----Original Message----- From: Gil Kirkpatrick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Freitag, 7.

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.
