Regarding Windows server 2003 X64 bit

[Guest venugopal545@gmail.com]

Hi,

 

This is regarding the Windows Server 2003 64 bit edition

 

I need to write a batch file to know whether the OS is 64 bit or

not .I need to retrieve that from registry

 

So how can I determine whether the OS is 64 bit or not from registry

without basing on the processor architecture

 

I mean if the Processor is Em64 or IA 64 we cannot say that the OS is

Windows 64 bit .Is there any chance to

 

know that the OS is 64 bit from Registry.Please help me if anybody

know the answer

 

Thanks a lot folks.........

You can safely bet that if the processor is an IA64 you certainly do not

have a 32-bit Windows running on it!
