This is what I use -- most from the Technet scripting site and Robbie's book, I'd guess...

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 ?
