win32all - determine wrkstn vs. server

[ChrisH]

Does anyone know of a way to determine whether the current computer
running a python script is a workstation or server?

I've used the following code, but it only tells me the version of
Windows.

(majVer,minVer,buildNum,platID,osInfo) = win32api.GetVersionEx()

Thanks,
Chris

What does it mean to you that something is a workstation
or a server? These terms are not precise ones.

Some people run servers as workstations, and vice versa,
for example. On some versions of Windows, the primary
difference was in the number of simultaneous incoming
connections that were allowed, but only for MS network
services, not TCP/IP ones.

Try asking in comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32, because it is
not a Python but a Win32 API issue.
