• File Chassis-Type.ps1 — part of check-in [c8b468eb6d] at 2018-06-10 13:29:02 on branch trunk — Ever wonder what kind of chassis your computer thinks it’s running on? Have a need to know if you’re RDP’d into a physical or virtual system? This script can probably answer the question for you. This script was adapted to PowerShell from a VBScript I’ve had for a while. It uses WMI to determine the Chassis type and translates the reported numerical code into decipherable text. – Thought i would rewrite this code using the switch function rather than elseif. Easier to read and less code to write. (user: Owen08 size: 2263)
