Hello
Thanks a lot for sharing your great work!
Customers pay billions to Microsoft and in 2023, it's a shame that they do not offer a REST Service that offers this information.
I probably have a question about the most common use case:
In our days this information is very important and I suppose your WindowsOSBuild Module is a very good source of information for this question. But I don't know what information I have to interpret for this question to get a 100% sure answer.
Thanks a lot, kind regards,
Thomas

PS U:\>
Unless im doing something really wrong, the Server 2022 is not working as intended, I think the main page doesnt provide the data for this OS.

Hi, since a few weeks, the OS Build query for Windows Server 2022 is broken. As far as I can tell, it reports the build number of Windows Server vNext (23H2) instead.
Example:
PS C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount> Get-LatestOSBuild -OSVersion "21H2" -OSName "Server2022"
Version : Version 21H2 (OS build 25398)
Build : 25398.531
Availability date : 2023-11-14
Preview : False
Out-of-band : False
Servicing option : LTSC
KB article : KB5032202
KB URL : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/5032202
Catalog URL : https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB5032202
The correct build number as of today would be: 20348.2113
Source for 2022: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/windows-server-2022-update-history-e1caa597-00c5-4ab9-9f3e-8212fe80b2ee
Source for 23H2: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/november-14-2023-kb5032202-os-build-25398-531-e1ee8019-47f8-4314-be67-32d4e48ac140
Get-CurrentOSBuild -Detailed does not work for Windows 11:
$GetOSCaption = (Get-CIMInstance Win32_OperatingSystem).Caption returns "Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise"
However $DetectedOS gets matched to "Win10" not "Win11"
ElseIf ($GetOSCaption -match "Windows 11") {
$DetectedOS = "Win10"
}
Which means no information is shown for Windows 11 when running: Get-CurrentOSBuild -Detailed
Thanks for a useful module.
On Azure machines with hotpatch enabled this is not working.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/release-notes-for-hotpatch-in-azure-automanage-for-windows-server-2022-4e234525-5bd5-4171-9886-b475dabe0ce8
I tried and made something quick and dirty on our custom script to check if its autopatch or not and changing the url to be parsed
```
$hotpatchcheck = Get-HotFix -Id KB5003508 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($hotpatchcheck) {
$URL = "https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/release-notes-for-hotpatch-in-azure-automanage-for-windows-server-2022-4e234525-5bd5-4171-9886-b475dabe0ce8"
}
Else {
$URL = "https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/5005454"
}
But even then, the webpage parse mechanism doesnt match what the OS reports
OS Build 20348.2091 --- correct info from the OS and correct info from the webpage body
OS Build 20346.2091 --- data pulled up from the module, and info from the table ??
Any ideas ?
-BuildOnly parameter fails due to error on line 154 of WindowsOSBuild.psm1
Cause is the $Table member NoteProperty for "OS Build" is now "Build" after the update
eg it should be
($Table | Where-Object { $_ -Match "Version $OSVersion" } | Select-Object -First $LatestReleases)."Build"The following error is returned when you run the Get-LatestOSBuild function on Server Core.
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)
This is due to the absence of the COM object 'HTMLFile' which is used to parse the release information. Internet Explorer is needed for this COM object to work and it is not installed on Server core.
