I have to make a network documentation. This I can only
make remote. So now my question.
How can I get the information about the version, which
the server is? (Standard, Advanced)

Thanks Katrin

Run gettype.exe from the Win2000 Resource Kit:

gettype.exe [\\RemoteComputer] [/s]
/s specifies silent mode.

GetType will generate an ErrorLevel as follows:

1 Windows NT Workstation
2 Windows 2000 Professional
3 Windows NT Server Non-Domain Controller
4 Windows 2000 Server Non-Domain Controller
5 Windows NT Server Domain Controller
6 Windows 2000 Server Domain Controller
7 Windows NT [Enterprise/Terminal] Server Domain Controller
8 Windows NT [Enterprise/Terminal] Server Non-Domain Controller
 
Can I also get this information for Windows 2000 Server?
The server is available in Standard, Advanced and
Datacenter. With this tool I can only differ Win NT.
Is there a message in the eventlog like Exchange?

Thanks
Katrin

I do not understand your question. The table I gave
you shows clearly that gettype.exe can distinguish
between Windows NT and Windows 2000, and between
Workstation, Server and Domain Controller.

Yes, thats right, but it can't distinguish between
Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Windows 2000 Standard
Server.
That is my problem.

Maybe psinfo.exe (www.sysinternals.com) can do it.
I can't test this - I don't have an Advanced Server installation.
