Thankyou for your reply, but I was after the operating sytem of the machine that the database is on rather than the version of SQL server.. ie Windows server 2003, windows VISTA etc...

Or you mean the operating system for the client application, not the server?

Thankyou very much... No I meant the server.. I just wondered if there was a way to print the more common name such as windows server 2003 SP2, rather than Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)
