Getting Windows version including full build number

Question

Getting Windows version including full build number

Romit Poladiya 6

Hi,

My knowledge in powersheell and WMI is very limited
We use SCCM

Now, our organization may have laptops and desktops outdated / users have not updated. We have sent out instructions to update via Settings > Update & Security > Check Online for updates. We can trust if user has already updated.

I need to gather all the deivces' windows version. with full build number including the last bit after 10.0.19041.1415

I know it may have been anserwed somewhere but I am finding hard to get.
The list can be

HOSTNAME (COMPUTERNAME | WINDOWS VERSION (two columns in CSV export)

I can export the list of all the hostnames and also SCCM gives the version number but not the last bit, the build number

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thank you

The last number can be read from registry, like :

(Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" -Name UBR).UBR

Hi
Thank you for responding

I will need the full script. In this I am only getting the last bit.

Also I will need to export the output of to a CSV like

Hostname (Column A)
WIndows Version with full build number (Column B)

Kind regards,

I am looking to do this for a list of computers that I have in CSV

You can do a loop on each line of the .csv file
For example, with a file with computers (I have no other PC to test, I just set my computer name several times in the file) :

CASTORIX-PC
CASTORIX-PC
CASTORIX-PC

in a test script readcomputers.ps1 :

$CSV = Get-Content -Path "E:\Computers.csv"
Foreach($Line in $CSV)
{
 $Server = $Line.Trim()
 $Key = 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion'
 $Type = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive]::LocalMachine
 $RegKey = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey($Type, $Server)
 $RegKey = $RegKey.OpenSubKey($Key)
 $CurrentBuildNumber = $RegKey.GetValue("CurrentBuildNumber")
 $UBR = $RegKey.GetValue("UBR")
 Write-Host $Server","$CurrentBuildNumber","$UBR
 $RegKey.close()
 Clear-Variable CurrentBuildNumber
 Clear-Variable UBR
}
