VBScript to query WMI for Chassis Type

Use Chasis type when you need to figure out what kind of computer it is, laptop, desktop, pizza box, lamp, etc.

Sure, you can definately build an SMS Collection based on inventory using the chassis type. Then you can manage your laptops differently, and with download execute, proper cache management, and a little bit of hot sauce, you've got some good eats.
