Detect Windows server 2003 R2

[JerryWu]

Hi,

Can someone help me out here?

There is a solution can detect windows server 2003 R2 with WMI.

We can determine the OSversion 'WIN_2003' with macro @OSVersion.

Then, Get OtherTypeDescription through WMI.

Func _GetOSVersion()
Local $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
Local $colSettings = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
For $objOperatingSystem In $colSettings
Return $objOperatingSystem.OtherTypeDescription
Next
EndFunc ;==>_getOSVersion

MsgBox(0,0, _GetOSVersion())

Is there any other approach to Detect windows server 2003 R2? such as registry etc.

Any suggestions appreciated, Jerry

Run Scriptomatic (for download search the Example Script section) and select class Win32_OperatingSystem. I'm sure there is the information you need.

Much appreciate !

I have found some Example Script about Win32_OperatingSystem.

Func _ComputerGetOSs(ByRef $aOSInfo) in the following link:

https://code.google.com/p/jint-autoit/source/browse/trunk/example/ComputerInfo/CompInfo.au3

we need to use WMI to retrieval system info, but I don't want to retrieval through WMI.

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks.

Have a look at the WinAPI UDF that comes with AutoIt or the WinAPIEX UDF you can find on the forum. Or give the latest beta version of AutoIt a try and see what @OSVersion returns.

BTW: Why do you want to avoid WMI?
