Hi Wilfred, there is a small typo in the code; in the select ... full_windows_name from ... cte one quote ( ' ) is used instead of two ( ' ' ).

cheers Leon

Very nice script. As noted in the above post, the last few lines should read:

then windows_server_release_name + rtrim(' ' + windows_service_pack_level) + ' ' + case when left(windows_server_release_name, len(windows_product_type)) <> windows_product_type then windows_product_type else ' ' end

else windows_home_release_name + rtrim(' ' + windows_service_pack_level) + ' ' + case when left(windows_home_release_name, len(windows_product_type)) <> windows_product_type then windows_product_type else ' ' end

end as full_windows_name

fromCTE

)

go

Thanks again, this will be very useful.

I already noticed the missing quote and fixed the code. However, the SQLServerCentral team first reviews every change before it's published so there's a slight delay before it's available. The correct version should be available now for download.

NOTE: This function works with SQL2008R2 SP1 and upwards. So if you're still having an RTM version, it's time to update! :hehe:
