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
