purchased. Microsoft currently does not provide a programmatic method
to determine what operating system edition is installed.
During reinstallation or upgrade, Standard Edition will be displayed on all
screens instead of Express or Workgroup.
To determine the edition of your operating system:
– Open the Windows registry using the ’regedit’ utility.
– Open the following folder in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Server
Appliance
– The value of the edition DWORD determines your operating
system edition. The DWORD values for the operating system editions
are: 0 – Express, 1 –Workgroup, 2 – Standard, and 3 – Enterprise.
You can always refer to the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) label on the
side of the system to confirm what operating system edition was installed
on your system when you ordered it from Dell. If you upgraded your
operating system using a Dell supported upgrade offering, the COA label
should have been replaced with a new label during the upgrade process.

volume is set to 200MB, while Windows Explorer is set to
No Limit . The
MMC and Windows Explorer should reflect identical Quota Limit
information.
