Useful script, just note that it only works on Vista and WS2008.

Nice, very useful. Still learning PowerShell, just curious why he used the outer parenthesis. Why "$((gwmi win32_operatingsystem).OperatingSystemSKU)" instead of "$(gwmi win32_operatingsystem).OperatingSystemSKU"

Here's an improved version taking the computer name and version number into account:

#Requires -Version 1

# GetOSSku.ps1

# Get OS SKU

function global:Get-OSSku

{

param([string] $computerName)

if(($computerName -eq $null) -or ($computerName -eq ""))

{

$computerName = "localhost"

}

Write-Host

"Computer:`t" + $computerName.ToUpper()

$wmi = $(gwmi Win32_OperatingSystem -computerName $computerName)

$sku = $wmi.OperatingSystemSKU

"Version:`t" + $wmi.Version

"SKU:`t`t" + $(

switch($sku)
