  A better forum for scripting questions is The Official Scripting Guys forum - https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=ITCG

  Or you simply go to TechNet and search for 'win32_operatingsystem class'.  That will find the details of that WMI class and explain all the values.

  Hello,

  Here is the reference for Win32_OperatingSystem: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394239%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

  The Class is called Win32_OperatingSystem on both 32 bit and 64 bit OSs.

  "ProductType!=2" means that the system is not a domain controller, so, basically, you are selecting all client and server systems, except for DCs.

  /Regards

  Hi,

  It means all OS, not only 32-bit OS. If we want to get only 64-bit OS, we may need to add the following criteria:

  and OSArchitecture = "64-bit"

  The Product Type is defined as below. So !=2 means all desktop OS and all server OS except the DC.

  ProductType 1 = Desktop OS

  ProductType 2 = Server OS – Domain Controller

  ProductType 3 = Server OS – Not a Domain Controller

  Best Regards,

  Alvin Wang
