Get OS or SP Level

This command obtains exact operating system or service pack version information from the system. It is similar to the Get System Settings command, but different in that it does not check for "at least or newer", and performs an exact comparison. While in most cases a check for "at least" a particular version is sufficient, sometimes an exact check is required, which is the intended usage of this command.

Variable

Type the name of the variable that will receive the version information.
