Hi guys, Just thinking of a better way to search for NT4 workstations within AD. Filter below will return both ws and server "&(objectclass=computer) (objectcategory=computer) (operatingsystem=Windows NT)" The hard way would be to integrate this with something like srvinfo to grep the Product Info, but those remote systems will eat up time :-( Anything else I can use to query them? WMI components may not be installed on the NT4 workstations so WMIC/Systeminfo and stuff may not be usable.. So far 3rd party non relevant utilities such as Quest Domain Migration Wizard is able to list separate out WS and SRV when I'm importing the files, but the above criteria will be used in scripts unfortunately... Ideas pls.. Thank you and have a splendid day!

You can't get any further info from AD, you need to ask the machine. Probably best bet is reg query of Key: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ProductOptions Value: ProductType Winnt Workstation Servernt Server Lanmannt Server Domain Controller -----Original Message----- From: ActiveDir-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ActiveDir-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of freddy_hartono@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, August 22, 2005 8:04 PM To: ActiveDir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ActiveDir] Differentiating between NT4 Workstation and Server in AD?
