To determine the operating system and the service pack revision level of
Active Directory domain controllers in an Active Directory domain, install
the Windows Server 2003 version of Repadmin.exe on a Windows XP Professional
or Windows Server 2003 member computer in the forest, and then run the
following repadmin command against a domain controller in each domain in the
forest:
>repadmin /showattr name of the domain controller that is in the target
>domain ncobj:domain:
>/filter:"(&(objectCategory=computer)(primaryGroupID=516))" /subtree
>/atts:operatingSystem,operatingSystemVersion,operatingSystemServicePack
