Get @OSversion of a remote computer

[grunewald6]

Is there a way to use the @OSVersion macro to get the windows version of a remote computer?  I have a script that runs and copies files or folders to either the all users desktop or all users startup folder, and we have an XP/Win7 mixed environment so the paths to those two directories are different. 

I'd like to make an If..Then statement to handle the 2 different paths but can't figure out an easy way to determine if the host I'm copying to is win7 or XP.  Any ideas?

@OSVersion returns the version of the computer where the script is being executed.

To get the OS version of another computer you need to use WMI or something similar.

Have a look at Scriptomatic in the Example Scripts forum. This will generate the WMI code for you.

all the info you need is in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersion

anyway, you must have sufficient privileges on the remote machine to execute RegRead() or WMI calls.

RegRead with that key does it.  Thanks for the quick reply!
