I am making an inventory for software at my workplace, I am having trouble figuring out the various versions of Windows Server OSes.

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition Service Pack 2 - Is this Enterprise Edition or does having no specific edition mentioned mean that its Standard Edition?

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition (Windows Rights Management Services 1.0) - - this one doesn't mention the hardware architecture, does it mean that its 32Bit/x86?

Any help or pointers on this are much appreciated.

Thanks

  • Where are you getting this information from? When running the OS or from the label on the installation DVD/CD?

  • @iglvzx - I am reading it off the label on the installation DVD/CD. Is there some kind of a convention that if the default version is Standard, Default arch is x86 and the default SP is none?

  • It's an answer to part of the question. Question was: "Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition Service Pack 2 - Is this Enterprise Edition or does having no specific edition mentioned mean that its Standard Edition?" in regards to having a bunch of CD/DVDs, but being unsure at to which operating system they are for. My answer clears up the first part.

If you want to do it by hand, right click My Computer -> Properties

It should list the server and specs on the "General" tab, like this:

If there are a lot of servers I would look into writing a script or using something like Spiceworks to automatically inventory those attributes for you.

  • I have a bunch of CD/DVDs from which I am trying to figure out which is which. Some of these are unused, so there is no Physical Server to verify the version from.

  • I apparently wasn't aware that you didn't actually have access to the server. I don't believe know of a way to determine the OS based on the product key so you may just have to boot the installer and check each one individually.
