区分Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V版本

Question

I'm writing an installer and need to be able to differentiate between machines running Windows Server 2012 with the Hyper-V feature enabled and the "baremetal" Hyper-V version, Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012.

For those who are unsure of the difference, this thread more or less covers it:

Hyper-V Server 2012 vs Windows Server 2012 Standard

They both seem to have the same version/build numbers so checking this isn't much use. I'm guessing I need to do either a registry lookup or a WMI call but I don't know where to start. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Take a look at the OperatingSystemSKU method of the WMI Win32_OperatingSystem class.

The value should be 0x2A (decimal 42) for Hyper-V Server, I believe.
