Hi,

 

Is there a way to find out what version of SBS are you running? (i.e. SBS

Standard, Premium, etc.)

I want to know if a server is running SBS Standard, Premium, etc.

 

Thanks!

The following batch file will probably tell you. You must remove

all # characters - their only purpose is to mark the start of each

line of code.

#@echo off

#echo > c:\OSVer.vbs Set OSSet =

GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//./root/cimv2").ExecQuery("select

caption, CSDVersion, SerialNumber from Win32_OperatingSystem")

#echo >>c:\OSVer.vbs For Each OS In OSSet

#echo >>c:\OSVer.vbs wscript.echo "OS=" ^& OS.Caption

#echo >>c:\OSVer.vbs wscript.echo "SP=" ^& OS.CSDVersion

#echo >>c:\OSVer.vbs wscript.echo "Product ID=" ^& OS.SerialNumber

#echo >>c:\OSVer.vbs Next

#cscript //nologo c:\OSVer.vbs

#del c:\OSVer.vbs

Re: Check Operating system version

 

As will all batch files, you must save it to a ".bat" file

before you can run it.

Re: Check Operating system version

 

How can I tell if you do not quote any error message(s)?

Remember - I cannot see your machine!

Re: Check Operating system version

 

You did not unwrap the lines as I said in my first post.

Remember - each line in my code starts with a # character!

Re: Check Operating system version

 

The first line says "@echo off".

 

The second line starts with "echo" and ends with 'OperatingSystem")'.

It is a very, very long line. The error messages you reported tell

me that you broke it up into several separate lines. The code will

never work unless you unwrap this line correctly.

 

If you find it difficult to unwrap the lines correctly, use the attached

and renamed zip file. You may have to instruct your news reader

to accept attachments.
