I am building a ZENworks push to deploy the SUS client to
our XP and 2000 systems. The problem is that it is only
required on Win2000 machines that have less than SP2 (less
than SP3 is acceptable but not preferred). Is there some
file version or file date that denotes less than SP2 is
running? In order for ZENworks to determine which
machines to install to, I need specific information like
that (About Windows is not specific enough).

Bottom line, can someone provide me with a file version or
file date that would only be consistent with SP1 or less?
Please email as I am deeply into this project and not
able to check back very often. THANKS!

Windows key +pause

or Control panel ->system
 
I appreciate the reply but thats not exactly what I was
looking for. I need an exact file version or file date
for any 2000 file on an SP2 machine. Something that allows
ZEN to differentiate between an SP1 and an SP2 install.
The info you provided only shows CURRENT version (at SP4).
 
This may help.

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems
Wscript.Echo objOperatingSystem.ServicePackMajorVersion _
& "." & objOperatingSystem.ServicePackMinorVersion
Next

What are you asking for? Something that can tell the service pack version
when SUS was first istalled?
Regardless of future updates?

Can't. Be. Done.
