Windows Server Standard – showing as Windows Vista in Microsoft OS check – What version is it

windowswindows-server-2003windows-server-2008

So I became in charge of a Windows Server VM.

I can't tell whether this version is Windows 2003 or 2008.
In My Computer system properties, all it says is:

Windows Server Standard
Copyright 2007 Microsoft Corporation.  
Service Pack 2

when using this tool:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows/which-operating-system

It says Windows Vista.

command.com shows :

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6002]

It also seems to have Microsoft Security Eseentials installed – Which I thought wasn't supported on Server OS's.

Best Answer

To show a brief version info you could use cmd and the command "winver"
Or for a detailed version info you could use cmd and the command "systeminfo".
