RE: MS Win 2K Version

[Geaslin, Andrew - GPB]

If your running Win2k you can use WMI. It correctly differentiates between server, advanced server and professional versions (I don't have datacenter). The registry values seem to simply tell you that you are running Win2k not which version.   hth, -Andrew   <CODE>   use strict; use warnings; use Win32::OLE qw( in ); use Win32::OLE::Variant;   my $host = shift @ARGV || Win32::NodeName(); my $WMI; eval    {  my $class = "WinMgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//$host";       unless ($WMI = Win32::OLE->GetObject( $class ))          {  print "Error creating WMI Object on $host \n";          }         ## WMI looks good so execute the OS query       my $OSdata = $WMI->ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem");       foreach my $item (in $OSdata)          {  print "$host is running $item->{Caption} - $item->{Version}\n";          }    }; print "$host die with WMI Error\n" if $@;   </CODE> -----Original Message----- From: LViale - TiscaliNet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 3:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MS Win 2K Version Subject: MS Win 2K Version   Hi all Does someone know how to get from registry the exact version of MS Win 2k (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, ...). I found references and Perl--functions useful to get the Build and Service Pack Level, but not the OS Type (Pro, Srv, Adv srv, ...). Thanks for your support. Bye.
