The info I need is the same as when you go to "My Network Places", then "Entire Network", then "Microsoft Windows Network", then find any computer on the network and do Right-Mouse Button and then Properties. The part where it says "Type:" is the info I need to get, i.e., "Windows 2000 Professional", "Windows NT Server", etc.
This is NOT just a simple computer OS type like "Windows 2000", "Windows XP", etc. I need to know whether it is Professional, Server, etc. So it needs to be that exact info that is seen in the Type: field.
I'm guessing there is a Windows 2000/XP API function for this, but I can't find it. I do not wish to use WMI unless absolutely necessary. If it can be done through the registry, that would be fine, but again, I haven't found anything that shows me what I need.
Please see the attached image for a visual example.
If you know how to do this and have an example app. to send, this would be preferable as I almost always choose the first bid with a working example, no matter what the bid amount is.
Also, this needs to be in Visual Basic 6.
