How can I determine if Windows server is Booting From SAN via WMI or script

several windows 2003 servers in production. Would like to know how to determine is the server is booting from SAN without looking into BIOS.
Thank you

i havent used WMI scripts much but you can try to
1. determine the boot drive variable (%SystemDrive% on command prompt)
2. determine the disk that it belongs to
3. get detail parameters of that drive to check the vendor ID .. for clariion disks, it would have "DGC" in it and for symmetrix it would contain "SYMM"
if so, you can assume that the drive is SAN boot drive.
