Hi Glenn,
Did you used wmi to get this information ?
Use below script to determine edition
------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
On Error Resume Next
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer &
"\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from
Win32_OperatingSystem",,48)
For Each objItem in colItems
Wscript.Echo "Caption: " & objItem.Caption
Next
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
Above script will give edition for local PC. IF you want to get edition
of remote PC's then replace "." value in strComputer with hostname.
If you need to get edition for large numbers of servers/desktops then
let me know, I will send you another script, just you need input text
file with all servers and desktops details. Script will pop up required
information in a excel sheet.

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
