Get System Information on Windows 2000 (W2K)

[stangor]

I am trying to find a ‘string’ location of System Information on Windows 2000. Especially, OS name Windows 2000 Professional. Please help.

[Andy-S]

The OS name can be extracted from the registry.

The key to use is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProductName.


Cheers

Thank you Andy. How about "Prfessional" string? Where I can find it?

Thanks

The professional is not stored with the OS name. If you read the registry string and it is Microsoft Windows 2000 then you just need to append Professional to the end of it. The other versions will have server, advanced server etc.

Cheers

Try this..

'******************** OS info.vbs ***********************
Set SystemSet = GetObject("winmgmts:")_
.InstancesOf ("Win32_OperatingSystem")

For Each System In SystemSet
WScript.Echo "Caption: " & System.Caption & vbNewline &_
"Version: " & System.Version & vbNewline &_
"SerialNumber: " & System.SerialNumber & vbNewline &_
"RegisteredUser: " & System.RegisteredUser & vbNewline &_
"NumberOfUsers : " & System.NumberOfUsers & vbNewline &_
"NETBIOS Name: " & System.CSName & vbNewline &_
"BuildType: " & System.BuildType

Next

Set SystemSet = Nothing
