#40488 - 2003-05-20 03:05 PM How do I get the OS!?
Josh R Josh R Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-05-07 Posts: 49	[Moderator (Sealeopard): Moved thread from 'Script' to 'Starters' forum due to lack of script in body] I am trying to use @PRODUCTTYPE, but it is not returning anything. Just says unknown. Where is this looking to get the OS of my machine? Any ideas? Also any ideas on how to get the serial number of a machine? [ 20. May 2003, 16:37: Message edited by: sealeopard ]

Josh R Josh R Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-05-07 Posts: 49	3.61 is the version I am using. Would it be worth my time to upgrade? What would you recommend?

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	WMI = Windows Management Instrumentation (Intrinsic since Windows 2000) 3.61 = too old get 4.21 and take advantage of a whole bunch of new functionality plus a great resource of already coded User defined Functions (as linked above) Oh hey, welcome to the Board ! _________________________

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Kixforms is a seperate thing written by Shawn (a '3rd Party DLL Add-on' so to say ) If you follow the link in my sig you will be nearly there _________________________

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Oh man, we have a minor communications problem with this As soon as I reply and get back I discover new questions WMI: you just need to have 2K OS or later OR have the WMI runtimes installed on NT and earlier , then, as soon you have 4.21 running go to the COM Forum here and do a search for 'WMI' _________________________

Josh R Josh R Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-05-07 Posts: 49	I replaced these files: KIX32 KX16.DLL KX32.DLL KX95.DLL KXRPC WKIX32 I run it from my domain controller. It is weird because my editor is saying that one one of the domain controllers it is 4.21 and the other is 3.61 even though I copied the same files to both places.

Josh R Josh R Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-05-07 Posts: 49	What do you mean import and export directory? I copied the files to the same place on both domain controllers and one works and the other doesn't.
