Find out total number of cores on a Win Server 2008 cluster system

Question

Is there a way to find out the total number of cores available on Server 2008 cluster system? i.e. total number of cores on all compute nodes? Is there an environment variable that has this information?

Thanks,

AG

If you're using the .NET framework, you can use the Environment Class:

EDIT:

Note, this gets the number of cores on an individual server, not a cluster.
