Nitin Bhat the WMI PM recently pointed HERE<\/a> to answer the question, how do know what OS SKU a machine is running?<\/p>\n

You can run the expression $((gwmi win32_operatingsystem).OperatingSystemSKU) to the the value and then look it up on that table.<\/span><\/p>\n

I decided to turn it into a script you can use.  It is rock-simple but it saves you the typing and there’s some value in that.  I’ve included it below and attached it as well.<\/span><\/p>\n
