version of Windows a client is running? Suggestions?

There are several tools which are able to determine client versions.
Which client OSs do you use?

The following is one line

for /f "Skip=4 Tokens=2*" %%i in ('reg query
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v
ProductName') do set textversion=%%j

Reg.exe is from the W2K support tools or it is built into later versions.
