# title: Chassis Type
# description: 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.
