Yep, it shouldn't be too difficult to make a WMI filter apply is the
statement is false. I thought they would have fixed that in 2008. Guess
not. L

Yes, I know desktops like that exists (I have a desktop with SODIMM
memory at home too) - and maybe that will be the future of desktops (or
thin clients), who knows? But IMHO this memory formfactor is "close
enough" compared to the typical hardware these days - I personally doubt
that we will find a 100% match WMI filter for anything which has to do
with hardware... But if someone out there should have a better solution
feel free to let us all know.
So far Joel was the fastest to come up with what I'd call a solution for
most companies - from my experience J
In your case I guess you'd have to go for the model name or somethin' -
unless some Knight of WQL Wisdom solves the Wind32_Battery "syntax
problem" we have... That would really nail this one 99.999% I guess J

We have Acer Veriton 1000s which use SODIMMS and are SFF-Desktops.

Hi all,
IMHO we can declare Joel the winner of this contest - I think we got a
real nice tip and great inspiration.
Thanx to Darren for throwing in a price to make it even more
interesting!
Congratz to Joel and his support guy ;-)
Best regards

I also hadn't heard of SoDimm before reading Jakob's post. Was talking
over the differences between laptops and desktops with someone in the
support department here (i'm in development at the moment although I
tend to wander over there as the problems are more interesting). He
mentioned SoDimm and I found the appropriate WMI class, wrote the query
and did some testing. So he certainly deserves a lot of the credit for
it if it turns out to be the solution.

Hi Joel,
This looks very promising - I'll have to test it a bit, but really great
approach I think!
I'll get back to you when I know more, but looking at this link,

<http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394347%28VS.85%29.aspx> , I
think you might have nailed it as the first one here!

How about:
Select * from Win32_PhysicalMemory where FormFactor != 12
Returns True on computers that do not have SoDimm form factor memory and
False on computers with SoDimm form factor memory. The assumption is
that all laptops will have this style memory and desktops will not.
Works in my environment, but it's a pretty small environment.
Joel
