Status: online 		There will be 3 different versions of this script posted.

Script Name: GetOS.vbs
Version 1 Tested on WinNT4 and up
Version 2 Tested on Win2000 (requires wscript 5.6) and up
Version 3 Tested on Win2000 (updated WMI) and up

No testing done on 9x/ME

1)  Uses WshShell.Run to run Ver in the cmd (%comspec%) prompt.  The output is redirected to the temp folder whose location is taken from the temp environement variable.  CMD window is not displayed and the file is deleted after use.  Note, some newer virus scanners may prevent script from accessing files in the temp folder, happened with McAfee 8.0 where I work.

2) Similar to version 1, but uses WshShell.Exec instead.  Now file is created but the cmd window will flash as you can not supress it when using Exec.  Also, Wscript 5.6 is required, XP comes with it but you will need to upgrade other OS's.

3) Uses WMI to get the OS.  This method will allow you to differenciate between OS/Server versions and get the OS from a remote PC.  WMI is required and will need to be installed on older OS's.
