This is what I use -- most from the Technet scripting site and Robbie's
book, I'd guess...
Function OperatingSystemVersion (node)
Dim objWmiService, colOperatingSystems, objOperatingSystem
Dim iRetry
On Error Resume Next
For iRetry = 0 To 5
Set objWMIService = Nothing
Set colOperatingSystems = Nothing
Err.Clear
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & node &
"\root\cimv2")
If Err.Number = 0 Then
Set colOperatingSystems =
objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
For Each objOperatingSystem in
colOperatingSystems
If Len (OperatingSystemVersion) > 0 Then
OperatingSystemVersion = OperatingSystemVersion & vbCrLf
OperatingSystemVersion =
OperatingSystemVersion & objOperatingSystem.Caption & " " &
objOperatingSystem.Version
Set objWMIService = Nothing
Set colOperatingSystems = Nothing
Exit Function
Next
Else
wscript.Echo "Error binding to root\cimv2 for "
& node & ", " & Err.Description & " (" & Hex(Err.Number) & ")"
End If
Next
Set objWMIService = Nothing
Set colOperatingSystems = Nothing
OperatingSystemVersion = "<unknown>"
End Function

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT (Sort of): Determining the Edition of Windows
Installed
All,
We are currently undergoing our MS Licensing Upgrade (ugh), and one of
the things I need to know is which version and which edition of windows
server is running on a particular machine.
Getting the version number from the registry is fairly easy, and I've
already configured MS Ops Manager to get this information. Determining
the edition (server, advanced server etc) is proving a bit more
difficult. I've used The AD Cookbook (thanks Robbie) and got the basic
list of servers (Windows 2000 v Windows 2003), now just need to work out
what edition of windows is running on them.
Any idea how to quickly retrieve this information ?
TIA
Glenn
