Thanks guys, I used oBdA's script in my production batch, but that other script seems like something I will need in the future.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am trying to make a batch that checks the version of the OS and if found, moves on to a part of the script. &nbsp;I have two problems. &nbsp;This script below works for windows xp, vista, 7...etc but not windows server OS. &nbsp;<br />
Example of what I want...<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28157726-1">ver | find &quot;2003&quot; &gt; nul
:: error 0 means found
if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto Nextgen
) ELSE ( 
ver | find &quot;2008&quot; &gt; nul
:: error 0 means found
if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto Nextgen
) ELSE ( 
ver | find &quot;2012&quot; &gt; nul
:: error 0 means found
if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto Nextgen</code></pre>
<br />
if I use something more specific like the below to find server 2008, the problem is that this is also the kernel for windows 7 and I cannot have that.<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28157726-2">VER | FINDSTR /IL &quot;6.1.&quot; &gt; NUL</code></pre>
<br />
Can sombody help me create a OS check that ONLY looks for windows servers 2003, 2008, and 2012? &nbsp;And ignores desktop OS kernels like windows 7?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance

Batch to check server OS (ignores desktop OS kernels)

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
