RE: [ActiveDir] win2k pro or server?
I know this has been answered but wanted to put out my two answers... The quickest way assuming your machines are all in an AD domain is to look at the operatingsystem attribute of the computer object. You will see the following values Windows NT Windows 2000 Server Windows 2000 Professional Windows XP Professional Windows Server 2003 If not in a domain, then you have to query the machines which is much slower but faster than going to each one on foot... You can query the hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\productoptions\producttype value. You will see the following values WinNT - Workstation ServerNT - Server LanmanNT - Domain Controller See sub3.bat at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;180546 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern, Tom Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 2:14 PM To: ActiveDir (E-mail) Subject: [ActiveDir] win2k pro or server?

RE: [ActiveDir] win2k pro or server?
But you can only run bginfo on a local box, not on a remote box. He would have to termserv to the remote box to view the wallpaper that bginfo creates. I see the following possible ways to determine OS type: 1. If terminal services are activated on all servers, if the tsclient can connect to the box, it's a server 2. You can go into ADUC and view the properties of the computer account. The operating system tab will show Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2000 Professional 3. You could (via a script) connect to the computer object in AD and look at the value of the operatingSystem attribute. By default, methods 2 and 3 work for Windows 200x and Windows XP -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Foster Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 11:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] win2k pro or server?

I have all the PCs in my domain run bginfo.exe at startup, with an associated config file (.bgi). The config file contains an instruction to return the output to a database (which can be .mdb, .xls, etc.) which is located on the server. I have also edited the config file so that the bginfo wallpaper isn't created on the desktop.

It could also be possible to just look system drive through the hidden share. I can't think of what files would be different or not exist off the top of my head. Also might be a registry key you can check remotely if you don't have remote registry access disabled.
