Hi Zoltan,
TSM uses the version of Windows as reported by Windows API functions.
Although Microsoft uses product names such as "Windows Server 2008 R2" and
"Windows Vista", under the covers, the OS uses numeric version, release,
and build numbers that bear no apparent relationship to the externalized
product name.
You can see this by going to an OS command prompt (cmd.exe) and running
this command:
ver
For example, from a Windows 7 machine:
C:\>ver
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
C:\>
This is version 6, release 1, build 7601. Thus TSM would report Windows 7
as version 6.1 (TSM does not report the build number).
See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724832%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
for a more definitive reference that shows how OS names map to internal
version.release numbers.
Regards,
- Andy
