How can I tell if I'm running W2KAS?

I know this seems like a silly question, but bear with me. :-)

My CD says Win2KAS, the box it came in says the same, and even the start
menu says it.

WinVer makes no mention of AS.

However, I have 6GB of RAM in the server and it only reports 4GB. I
appplied the hotfix from PSS which is supposed to correct this, and it
didn't. (The claim is it'll still use the RAM, but will incorrectly report
it, I can't seem to tell if that's true or not.)

Is there a file version or something I could check?

Many thanks.
 
Right-click My Computer and select Properties. This should answer your
question as to which version of Win2k you are running
 
HKLM\SYSTEM\CCS\Control\ProductOptions:
ProductType=LanmanNT and ProductSuite=Enterprise: Advanced Server;
ProductType=LanmanNT: any DC;
ProductType=ServerNT: stand-alone or member Server.

Well, that's just it. My Start Menu says Win2K Advanced Server, as does
the splash screen and logon screen saver, but My Computer/Properties just
says "Windows 2000 5.00.2195, Service Pack 4"

HKLM\SYSTEM\CCS\Control\ProductOptions:

ProductSuite: Enterprise Terminal Server
ProductOptions: ServerNT

To respond to my own post -- once I turned on PAE (hits forehead with palm
of hand) WinVer, etc. shows 6GB of RAM....

Thanks all.
