.bat to detect operating system

We are currently using .bat files for our login scripts
Yaya I know so 1998
Anyways until we can switch to .vbs or anything else
I need to put some code in the .bat login script to not run if it's a
windows 2003 server
The IT guys still need login scripts but I don't want them running on the
servers.

This is covered extensively in Timo Salmi's most excelent CMD.EXE
scripting FAQ: See http://www.netikka.net/tsneti/info/tscmd004.htm

Hope that helps!
