Find SP # of NT?

rajatQ2 · 04-12-2004, 08:18 AM

Hey,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to retrieve the Service pack number of a Windows NT installation. I need to get it from a text file or WMI script or something similar (feed into a perl script).

I have a VBS script that is able to retrieve it from all other OS's, but have yet to find one that works for NT.

Thanks!

Try 'ver' or 'set' in the command shell.

those two have lots of information, but not the Service Pack info. Thanks though.

There is a reg key with it that you can easily look up. I don't have it in front of me, but if you havent' found it by the time I get home, I'll look it up and post it.

It's not in "My computer" properties tab?

no, it isn't there. Also, it is pretty difficult write a function to retrieve stuff like that from a graphical window like "my computer". Perl has some libraries to try, but it isn't always consistent.

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you wanted to know the service pack on a 1 time basis. I didn't realized you wanted a program to be able to learn it on any computer.
