elaintarha elaintarha Lurker Registered: 2002-11-14 Posts: 2 Loc: helsinki	Can someone help me? I would need to determine NT / W2k service pack level from somewhere with my script.. from registry? with some command line tool? I tried winmsd /f, it created file and I could find the string from there but registry sounds easier if I just could find it somewhere.. thanks timo

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	However, the preferred way would be to use the @CSD macro as it is native KiXtart. BTW, my personal preferences: 1) Native KiXtart command/function/macor 2) Registry read 3) WMI or ADSI 4) other standard COM DLL 5) external DLLs 6) other standard executables 7) external executables A standard DLL/executable is defined as a fiel that is present in the default build of all computer that are running the particular script External DLLs/executables are files that need to be installed specifically on computers Non-native solutions should preferably be implemented via UDFs. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
