Bit flags that identify the product suites available on the system. This can be 0, or one or more of the following values, combined using the bitwise OR ('|') operator:
Note that you should not solely rely upon the '1' flag to determine whether Small Business Server has been installed on the system, as both this flag and the '32' flag are set when this product suite is installed. If you upgrade this installation to Windows Server, Standard Edition, the '32' flag will be unset, however, the '1' flag will remain set. In this case, this indicates that Small Business Server was once installed on this system. If this installation is further upgraded to Windows Server, Enterprise Edition, the '1' flag will remain set. |
