Can someone with access to Windows 2000 Server give me the exact value of the following please?

%%VER = @regread(HKL,Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion,ProductName)

This should show the install Service Pack if it exists.

%%SP = @regread(HKL,Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion,CSDVersion)

Thanks in advance Smile

Hi Aslan

I can't run VDS on our W2K Server to try it out, but the registery contains the following:

HKL,Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion,ProductName = Microsoft Windows 2000

HKL,Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion,CSDVersion = Service Pack 4

I hope this helps. Best wishes

Marc

Thanks SUXI,

I was afraid that that was the result.

I'm trying to find an easy way to identify W2K Server from W2K.

Anyone, know of a way other than to collect a list of all the W2K builds and compare them to the current build?

Hi take a look at my vdswinver.zip (extension) it will use the Windows api to grab all the versions of Windows, and let you get the suite type such as: advanced server (win 2000, 2003); datacenter server (win 2000, 2003); personal (windows 2000); professional (win 2000, xp); server (win 2000, nt); workstation (win nt).

The source code is included with that dll so if you wish you may be able to convert it over using the @lib function of vds and calling the dll's directly to execute the win api.

This is exactly what I needed. Not sure why I didn't see it before.

Thanks P Very Happy
