Windows Server 2008 R2 - App Server Role
Hello, I need to detect if the Application Server Role has been installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 sort of as a prerequisite for running the installer. Does anybody know if there is a registry setting or something I can look for to do this?
Thanks!
Tim
Thanks!

Still looking for an answer. I have written a VB script that checks the Win32_ServerFeature class for a particular name, however this leads to an internationaliztion question. Is the Application Server Role name the same on all internationalized versions of Windows? On an Italian machine is the name still Applicaiton Server Role or is it Ruolo server applicazioni? Does anyone know?
