see what operating systems workstatoins are running.

You can run psexec.exe (www.sysinternals.com) from
your own PC to interrogate any workstation.

A more elegant way would be to insert this line into the
domain logon script:

echo %date% %time:~0,5% %ComputerName% %UserName% %OS% >>
\\YourServer\SomeShare\os.txt

(this is one single long line!)

Write your own. A few lines of VBScript or CScript are all it takes to call
WMI functions built into Windows 2000 and above to query all sorts of
computer information. A quick Google search will turn up dozens of script
files and VisualBasic/VisualC samples and full source code collections to do
this.
