Detecting Windows Server R2 Core

[mdavtec]

I'm using IA18 and have support for Windows Server 2012 R2 server. However, we need to add code to detect if the server is Core (no-gui) or not. I'm curious if there is an API support to detect "Core" with IA. Any suggestion.

Hi Francesco,

Thanks for response.

The method of using GetVersion() win api via "CALL DLL FUNCTION", that link suggests, doesn't work here. It doesn't distinguish between gui and core (non-gui) version of the server operation system. I ended up using method described in https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... 29(v=vs.85).aspx.

Thanks,

Happy you solved!
