Hi all,

Is there any Wmi class or property is available to check whether the OS is embedded or not. It need not tell me any details reg the type of embedded OS. Just an info whether its an embedded or not will help.

Anticipating your reply.

I'd use the win32_operatingsystem class and query a machine with a known embedded OS and see if it shows in the name or caption properties. use something like WBEMTest so you can see all the properties.
