I am wanting to know how to determine the system chassis type of a PC, how is this possible with Kix? What I am tring to achieve is to check whether a user is a member of a group (easy enough) but then to also determine if the machine that the user is logging into is a laptop, and if it is then execute a series of commands. I'm presuming that this is achieved with WMI but I have no knowledge of how to do this, so any and all help is welcome.

Cheers, thanks both for the suggestions. Think the UDF is going to be a better fit for what I need since it is basically kix that at least have an understanding of as apposed to trying to figure out how to get the MS script to run within kix...
thanks again.

I toyed with placing the computer account within a group and then evaluating whether they were a member of the said group, but this means manual intervention to ensure that the computer account is placed either within the OU (as per your suggestion) or within a security/distribution group, atleast if it is scripted it's all automatic, so no need to worry about having to remember to place specific computers within a OU or group.

That is why I gave two links The scripting guy tells you to use win32_SystemEnclosure kixomatic shows you the KiX code to use with this class
The most important is you find a solution that suites you.
