[fixed] Wrong OS detected (6 Viewers)

[knas]

There might be a reason for running a server and not using it as a domain controller but I can't think of any.

Active Directory has big resource usage. In fact Microsoft suggests you never run anything else on a domain controller - just Active Directory.

That is true in an enterprise environment ~100.000 users or so.

out of curiosity, please test attached util.

EDIT: attachment updated.

This version detects the OS version much better:

Operating System: Windows Server 2003
Service Pack: 2 (Final)
Suite: Standard Edition
Version: 5.2


One step forward, thanks!

Just by curiosity, what OS version are you trying to detect, that you want to prevent the installation on?

Let me completly fix the class. Then I'll ask you to test on all server/workstations OS you have and report back

I'm nothing but your humble servant!

Check again the post, attachment updated.

Do you have some enterprise / web / storage editions ?

Maybe can you test also on windows 7 (professional, ultimate, ... )

Sorry, don't have access to any of those versions at the moment.

You can download several VHD images prepared with several different OS for testing purposes from Microsoft Download

I have all of those in the office, so I can test tomorrow morning myself

I'll run it through our servers and test clients the upcoming days and report back to you.

The Roadmap for MP 1.1.0 RC2 has been at 100% for quite some time now.
Roadmap - MediaPortal Bugtracker

But I don't see this issue in the list. Won't this be fixed in the RC2 version?
