"For testing purpose only" for a final version ? How can I be sure I am not using a beta version?

 

Hi,

 

this morning I had a message at the bottom right of my Windows XP SP2

that was indicating "'For Testing Purposes Only' "

 

I am quite surprised as I think I have a final version of Windows (It

is a master issued by my company).

 

It is quite strange enough as I have resolved the problem like if I was

using a beta version (I removed two registry keys :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\CA\Certificates\FEE449EE0E3965A5246F000E87FDE2A065FD89D4]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\ROOT\Certificates\2BD63D28D7BCD0E251195AEB519243C13142EBC3]

)

 

I have installed this Windows 10 months ago.

 

How can I know if the version that I am using is a final version ? And

why did I get this message ?

 

Thank you

Pascal;

Have you or anyone installed Service Pack 3 Beta for Windows XP?

 

Right click My Computer and click Properties.

The 4th line under "System" will show the Service Pack Installed.

 

Also check winver:

Start/Run

Type "winver" ENTER

What is the 2nd line, Version, Build etc?

Hi,

 

thank you for your answer.

 

I have never installed the SP3 Beta for XP.

 

The second line is 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254 : Service Pack 2

 

After removing the certificates through registry the problem was

solved.

 

Does it mean that the Microsoft Root test certificates are available

only on Beta Windows ?

 

I would like to be sure if I am using a beta (or MSDN for example)

version of XP or not as I will alert the deployment service about that

issue if needed.

 

Thank you
