How to determine the clients OS type using function @GetMachineInfo?

Hello

We want to deploy Notes fixes depending on the clients type of OS (Windows, Mac, Linux). Some users have multiple machines with different OS types.

How can we use a machine specific formula in the policy settings for Smart Upgrade?

This technote http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21501673 http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21501673 says " Some possible attributes may include; version and type of OS …" but don’t give an example of how to obtain it.

Thank you for any help!

Subject: possibly getting system variable

@GetMachineInfo allows you to get OS System variables using the keyword : SysEnvVariable

You can use this to see if the system is Windows. I tried doing below on my Windows 7 machine:

@Prompt([Ok];@GetMachineInfo([SysEnvVariable];“OS”);“title”)

got the result as “Windows_NT”. Not sure what environment variable should be checked on the Mac system, but you can possibly experiment.
