Windows Logon Script

In windows 2003 server does anyone know how to write a vb logon script that
will return the level of the operating system. I know have client machines
that are xp, vista, and windows 7 and need to know the difference so I can do
different things for each type of OS.

Thanks!

Dale

Also, you might be able to use the operatingSystem attribute of the AD
computer object. This avoids the need to connect to the computer with WMI.
For example:
=========
' Bind to local computer object in AD
Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Set objComputer = GetObject("LDAP://" & objSysInfo.ComputerName)

' Retrieve operating system.
strOS = objComputer.operatingSystem
Wscript.Echo strOS
========
another attribute of the computer object is operatingSystemVersion.
