XP Service Pack

[faf1967]

Is there a tool that i can launch that will show what service pack is installed on windows 2000 and/or XP?

Right Click my computer, properties, right there on the general tab.

I know about that location but there is nothing there. I wanted to make sure there were no service packs installed. Also, i wanted to be able to run a script over the network and get the information automatically.

The script will run on a client or a server? The script will extract this info from a client or a server?

Qfecheck can tell you exactly what patches and SP's are installed but it does not do this remotely.

You can have it however execute locally and send a log to a computer of your choice.

Would that work? Maybe add to logon scripts in your GPO.

Maybe hfnetchk Pro also, it does remote audit.

I realise its turning the tools purpose around abit but it would tell you the SP state of the system.

Here is an easy one that should work:

On Error Resume Next
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem",,48)
For Each objItem in colItems
    Wscript.Echo "CSName: " & objItem.CSName
    Wscript.Echo vbtab & "ServicePackMajorVersion: " & objItem.ServicePackMajorVersion
    Wscript.Echo vbtab & "ServicePackMinorVersion: " & objItem.ServicePackMinorVersion
Next

Feel free to replace the "." with any computer's name on your network, or you could easily write a loop that would get all the computer names from AD.

O BTW I wrote that script with the Scriptomatic:

This is a tool for losers who don't know how to script, but want to anyway. It also makes for really easy WMI stuff for those of us who DO know how. It saves having to dig through WBEMTest and it's ugly interface.
