We are currently using .bat files for our login scripts
Yaya I know so 1998
Anyways until we can switch to .vbs or anything else
I need to put some code in the .bat login script to not run if it's a
windows 2003 server
The IT guys still need login scripts but I don't want them running on the
servers.

This should you, Win 98 echo %os% would not work but ver works, I found
this on the web:
@ECHO OFF

:: Win9x checks ::::::::::::

VER |find /i "Windows 95" >NUL
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO W9598ME

VER |find /i "Windows 98" >NUL
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO W9598ME

VER |find /i "Windows Millennium" >NUL
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO W9598ME

:: NT/XP checks ::::::::::::
VER | find "XP" > nul
IF %errorlevel% EQU 0 GOTO s_win_XP

VER | find "2000" > nul
IF %errorlevel% EQU 0 GOTO s_win_2000

VER | find "NT" > nul
IF %errorlevel% EQU 0 GOTO s_win_NT

ECHO Unknown OS !
