    how to determine the os of a remote pc

    i am working on a automated remote backup program make copies of users desktops. I need a way of telling (remotely) if the PC has XP or Windows 7 installed.

    All the PC's are in active directory.

    I am using VB6.

    Is there a way to remotely tell which OS is installed?

    Thanks!
