You can use the $OS$ keyword which is fine, but you may want the
$VERSION$ keyword instead?
OS The operating system of the machine on which a process is
running. You can
use this keyword to build workflow that executes conditionally
based on the
current operating system.
Web applications do not support the $OS$ keyword; it will return
NULL.
VERSION
The software version running on the client (active links) or
server (filters and
escalations). This keyword includes any applicable patch number.
Note: The $VERSION$ keyword might not be interpreted correctly
in workflow
running on pre-5.0 UNIX user tool clients. Use the $OS$ keyword
in
qualifications to detect UNIX user tool clients.

Morning All.
Does anyone know where the return values for the $OS$ keyword come
from? I am resurrecting a bit of workflow to get users to update their
Windows User Tool version if their are using Windows Vista. I currently
collect login information and one item I collect is the value of the
$OS$ keyword. For XP users it correctly states "Windows XP". For W2K
it says "Windows 2000". For Vista, though, I get the string "Windows NT
or NT Server", which I also get for Windows 2003 Server!.
So, how can I successfully test for Vista and not pick the few stray
2003 users?
BTW the version of the User Tool I have available for users to upgrade
to is 7.0.01 (patch 007). I have also downloaded 7.1.00 (patch 003) and
get the same results from the two different OS versions.
Thanks in advance,
Ian Trimnell
