How to detect server

[bourny]

I am looking for some assistance to detect a server via my script.

I can read in reg values such as HKLM/software/windowsNT/currentversion/product name

The problem with this is windows 2000 server and windows 2000 client have the same product name and build number . Server 2003 is unique but anything prior to this I cannot ID. This includes NT4 server

Any help appreciated ....

Thanks

@OSVersion will tell you what operating system you are using but I do not know how to tell if it is a server version.

Unfortunatly @OSVersion does not tell you if the machine is a server or a client - this looks as if it reads the Product type key in the registry

Any other ideas fellow scripters ??
