Precise Windows 10 version number

[eitanc]

Hi,
I use the current version of LS, 6.0.150.50.

The Windows 10 OS number is in the format of 10.0.16299, but Windows uses a more precise format, like 16299.334. Even more - MS have a version number, say 1709 and a matching "OS Build" of 16299.334.

See here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows-10/release-information

So, currently LS data is not aligned with the MS terms names nor with the level of number details.

Can you enhance this?

Thanks.

Eitan

You can however add the following registry keys to custom registry scanning to retrieve the full build numbers:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

Values:
CurrentBuild
ReleaseId

You can find more information about custom registry scanning here: https://www.lansweeper.com/kb/18/report-based-on-registry-keys.html

Thanks. this is really important and urgent, since we need to know the exact number. Thanks!

Currently, Lansweeper scan OS build information from the Win32_OperatingSystem WMI class. Since Microsoft does not include the full build number or the build number they use for external communication in the WMI class. Lansweeper does not retrieve it.

I will move this topic to the wishlist and link it to the existing feature request to scan the full Windows build number.
