    How can a script or EXE detect if it's running on a server?


    What call or query can I make to determine whether the PC my software is running on is a single-user PC or a server? For example, is there a registry entry to check?

    The utility systeminfo.exe can return a comprehensive summary with lines for "OS Name:" and "OS Configuration:". But what I'd like is something far simpler: IsServer=Yes/No.

    If there is no single parameter to check, then is "OS Configuration" a reliable indication? If so, what does a server version have on that line. (I don't have access to a server to test this ... and my development PC shows Standalone Workstation.)

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    :)

    long running script in email account

    Hi,

    The long-running script error usually occurs when there are issues with Internet Explorer.

    To resolve your concern, we suggest turning off the scripting debugger in Internet Explorer 11. Please follow these steps:

    • Open Internet Explorer.
    • Click the Settings icon at the top-right corner, then select Internet Options.
    • On the Advanced tab, uncheck Disable script debugging (Internet Explorer) and
      Disable script debugging (Other).
    • Click Apply, then OK.

    Once done, check if the issue will still persist.

    Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.
