Why is it that I see 2 different versions of my OS from PowerShell and PowerShell ISE?
The OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Evaluation
PowerShell: version 4.0
PowerShell
PS C:\> [System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version
Major Minor Build Revision
----- ----- ----- --------
6 3 9600 0
PowerShell ISE
PS C:\> [System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version
Major Minor Build Revision
----- ----- ----- --------
6 2 9200 0

@Kiquenet yes, 2012 = 6.2 and 2012R2 = 6.3 – magicandre1981 – 2015-01-08T17:13:18.197
How difference Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 and How difference Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 ? – Kiquenet – 2015-01-08T21:03:31.150
@Kiquenet which programming language do you use? – magicandre1981 – 2015-01-09T05:33:25.063
C# .NET and Powershell – Kiquenet – 2015-01-09T07:01:57.373
@Kiquenet make sure that the supportedOS Id entry is added to the app.config and the calls should be fine. Now use http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/kernel32.getversionex and look for the wProductType value. Win8 = VER_NT_WORKSTATION
