Hi,

is there a way to identify the exact Windows Version (95-XP, NT4-2003)?
Perhaps, there is a registry key...

Thanks...

Run ---- type in "winver"

Thanks, but i am looking for a key in the registry where i can find the information.

Here is a VBS script that will give the version and name of the OS on a computer
Save as Installed_Os.VBS

Quote

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")

For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems
Msgbox objOperatingSystem.Caption & " " & _
objOperatingSystem.Version, 0 + 32,"Window Version"
Next

Thanks, for all the information but I need registry keys or file versions to determine the exact Windows version.
Novell ZENworks cannot get the results of winver or vbs scripts, so far as i know.

If you're running XP run regedit and do a search for "Home Edition" or "Professional" depending on your version and see wat comes up, tell someone to look in their version see if they have the same key, confirm it on about 5 machines, then assume it...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide\Installations\x86_Microsoft.Tools.VisualCPlusPlus.Runtime-Libraries_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.0.0_x-ww_ff9986d7\Codebases\OS

Try that....

Or go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version.
