Detect operating systems on networked computer.

[Suppish]

Here's the problem I am having, let's say I have a computer connected on the network and I am trying to find the OS version and architecture of that computer given a computer name/directory.

What is the best way to locate the OS version and architecture?

I am currently using a crude script to check if certain OS files exist, and deducing which OS the target computer is running.

I am wondering if there are better ways such as @OSArch and @OSVersion expect displaying information about the target computer as opposed to the current computer.

Thanks for the help.

Search for "WMI winmgmts Win32_OperatingSystem ExecQuery" and you will find plenty of examples.

AutoIt Scriptomatic helps to find needed WMI namespaces and classes.
