Second that point about not getting one cross-platform answer. Under Windows, WMI is often the way to go for these things: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394373.aspx but, as Nicholas noted: """ Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000: This property is not available. """ since it's presumably not available in anything earlier either, that leaves you with Vista or the early-adopter editions of the next Windows Server product.
