I am doing a network service topology diagram. I need to identify the newly added computer's operating system so that I could run different scripts based on OS. How could I identify the newly added computer's operating system?

How much access do you have to these newly-joined nodes? Are they built to certain standards? The more information you provide, the better answers you're going to get.

Nmap does it: Nmap os detection
nmap -O
-O (Enable OS detection)
Enables OS detection, as discussed above. Alternatively, you can use -A to enable OS detection along with other things.

It may be worth to mention that executingnmap's OS detection requires root privileges. Still, good point.
