Avy,
if you have access to the remote computers from a PC running XP xpprofessional,
you can run the command:
systeminfo /s computername    (computername being the network name of machine 
you are quering)
This will list all the servicepack and uptates on the machine.
I think that the command only runs on XP Professional, but I have
used to remotely collect info. on win2000 and win2003 machines.

 From my experience, the Client OS Level which TSM captures is the
basic level, which identifies the OS generation, rather than deep
details.  In Unix, such basic info is obtained via the uname() system
call, and in Windows via the os() call.
