Determine Windows OS????
-
I am trying to determine which Windows OS is running on a machine, programmatically. I am able to get the Major Version, Minor Version, Revision, which SP, etc, etc, etc. What I am in need of is determining which version of Win2k and Win2K3 are running on machines (i.e. Win2K Pro, Win2k Server, Win2k Advanced Server, etc) :confused:. Does anyone out there have any idea on how to capture this info without interrogating a domain controller/AD or WMI (too slow)? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Mike

Call
GetVersionEx()and pass in anOSVERSIONINFOEXstruct. TheOSVERSIONINFOEXdocs explain how to tell the OS versions from the various flags that get returned. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~!

This scripte is demonstrate in VBscript language. I how you could embed it in your application:
Set dtmConvertedDate = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime") strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem") For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems Wscript.Echo "Caption: " & objOperatingSystem.Caption NextFor more information try to read this article.[^]
