Identify Microsoft Outlook Clients - 23.May2007 10:32:59 AM

I am looking for a solution to easily identify what version of Microsoft Outlook our clients our using, we are upgrading from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003 and before I can do that I need to know who is using what version. We did an upgrade a few months back but because it was done by an ex-employee I have no idea what machines were upgraded and which were not.
We have facilities all along the east coast and I thought maybe I could create a script that runs along with our exsiting logon script that I could somehow export to a text file?
Anyway I am open to any suggestions. Thanks all.

This little two-line script will tell you the version of the Outlook.exe file, but not the exact version according to Help-->About. If you need that information, I'd have to dig through the registry to find the right key.

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Wscript.Echo objFSO.GetFileVersion("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\outlook.exe")

(Edit)
The registry didn't hold the exact version, but I don't know if that's what you're looking for.
Outlook 2003 = Office-11
Outlook XP = Office-10
Outlook 2000 = Office-9

When I run the script it comes up blank but Yes that is all I am looking for, all I need to do is get the info into a text document.

If your wanting to know the internal users mapi client versions then

1) Go onto the exchange server
2) Open up ESM
3) Open up the mailstore
4) Look at the Logons view

You should see a column with client version (if not add it)

Let me know if this helps

Thans all, with the help of Rollin_Again I am able to run the following script using PSTOOLS to get the results I need.

Dim objOutlook
Dim varVersion
Dim objNet

Set objNet = CreateObject("WScript.NetWork")
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("OUTLOOK.APPLICATION")

varVersion = objOutlook.version

msgbox("User Name: " & objNet.UserName & vbcrlf & "Computer Name: " _
& objNet.ComputerName & vbcrlf & "Outlook Version: "& varVersion)

Set objNet = nothing
Set objOutlook = nothing
