Has anyone found a condition that I could use to distinguish between laptops and desktop? I want to create one job that covers both.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do it?

Laptop or Desktop

Jinx007,

I created a condition for my jobs called "laptops" and then added the field "Computer Product Name" the operator "contains" and then filled in the value with the model names of our laptops. I created an entry for each model of laptop we have and joined them with an "or."

This way any time a computer comes through the job that is lets say, a D420 in the Product Name, it runs the subset of tasks for the laptop conditional.

Hope this helps.

Computer groups

For my environment , I don't consider differences creating jobs to desktop or laptops. The only reason to divide in two differents jobs could be only if I have to deploy software to many groups, but in this case I prefer to use "Computer groups" where are included all the different types/models.
