Meshcentral: Suggestion: A clear way to identify which Windows 10 Version is deployed on the details page

[b8two]

The Details page for Windows 10 indicates the Version build number but it's not as clear to know which release it is.
The website: ChangeWindows.org allows you to see all details of the build version.
It would be nice to know the Release Verison like 1809 (Typically YYMM) of the version to know if the version is still supported
Perhaps have a link Icon at the end of the windows version to open a new tab to see more details from ChangeWindows.org

You can check the Windows Edition and Release ID in the registry:

REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v ProductName
REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v ReleaseID

Output:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
    ProductName    REG_SZ    Windows 10 Home

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
    ReleaseID    REG_SZ    1909

Edit: Could this info also be put in the General tab?
Current:

Maybe something like this:

Thanks for the tip, I'll add that to the metadata passed to the server

Agreed, this would be great to have. Will work on this with Bryan in the coming weeks.

Ok, I got this tested and added in the agent. It will be included in the next agent update. I made it so it checks if those reg keys exist (and are accessible), and if so, will use those, falling back to the old way if it doesn't work.

I found that older versions of windows such as Windows 7 and Server 2008 don't have those reg keys, but newer versions of windows like Server 2019 and Windows 10, have them... So I tested it on a couple different versions of windows to test. The field will get populated like this (on my machine anyways):

Windows 10 Pro - 1903 [Version 10.0.18362.657]

Just published MeshCentral v0.4.9-m with Bryan's improved OS information. This version of MeshCentral has Bryan's all new MeshAgents on all platforms, so all agents will auto-update and once they reconnect, you should see the new information. Let us know how it works for you.

Looks good on the General tab, but I think @b8two's original request to have it shown on the Details page should also be implemented, as the Details page should be _more_ detailed than the General page, not less detailed.

[Ylianst]

Working on it now :)

Just published MeshCentral v0.4.9-r with a better looking device details page. Feedback appreciated.

[Ylianst]

Published MeshCentral v0.4.9-s with network interfaces on the details page.

Nice add, as @MailYouLater mentioned with the details page being more detailed, adding the connection gateway/IP (the "Address" on the "List" view page) which shows the agents public IP address would be a good add as well.

Edit: "Last Seen" time would be good here as well.

[petervanv]

nice additions, love it ;-)

@ryanblenis Hold my sugar free root beer... Working on it.

[Ylianst]

MeshCentral v0.4.9-t with agent information.
