Guido,
we have a huge number of desktops with pcmcia card readers
installed, so I think that one is unreliable for my prposes. Thanks for the
suggestion though! -JB

Gil's example is great to show the value of WMI filters for GPOs in
Win2k3...
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.

You could also search the local WMI for an object of class
"Win32_PortableBattery".

We use machine naming conventions to distingush laptops
[airport code of city][branch location id][computer
role,Workstation,laptop..etc][date built]
Also we've got a database with every piece of hardware so we know..

Existing IP scheme is static, and that's not viable to change at this time.

You can do this with segmentation on a DHCP network.

Objet: [ActiveDir] OT: Identifying laptops on domain
Perhaps someone here might know:
Is there any machine attribute or registry value that can be queried
to differentiate workstations and laptops on a domain? 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. Any suggestions or assistance is most
appreciated.
