ISE Profiling - Laptop VS PC

[yhamoudah]

Hi everyone

How can I distuinguish between a laptop and a PC using ISE ?

I am trying to think about something unique between the two but I cannot !

I don't know if there is a way but I heard that I can do it through the battery !!!

is that true and how can I configure it

Thank you

There can be two ways to accomplish this:

1. Windows Registry (This method may not be fully reliable since the value for different models cannot be predicted
   1. Key Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\BIOS – String Value: SystemVersion = Laptop Model
2. WMI Repository (This is more reliable approach but requires a script or small program to be run by posture agent)
   1. Win32_SystemEnclosure, ChassisTypes(1)=10. This property when set to the value of 10 is equivalent to "notebook."
   2. More detailed help available at the location - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc180825.aspx
   3. A small VB Script, .NET program or C++ program can be written that  queries WMI repository to collect the desired information

Your question is about profiling so you practically want to identify the hardware equipement without using NAC Agent or any app installed on the host.

You might do some modifications on the DHCP messages that the laptops send and do a match on that. A different approach would be to activate SNMP on your machines so that ISE can send some GET request and identity the HW platform..
