What is the best way to find out what OS all Mac users on the server are running?

I am the administrator of both Windows PC's as well as having 12 Mac-mini users. I know several users have not updated their OS in quite a while. Is there some way for me to find out what version a user is running beside going from one computer to another?

I do have OS X Server if that makes a difference.

I have been working with Mac's for less than a year, so I'm a work in progress when it comes to the Mac World.

Thanks!

Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

If you're able to log into those computers, check the content of the file /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist on them. If you're working from a Mac, you may also be able to find out by selecting the drive in the Finder and choosing Get Info from the File menu.

If I understand what you're telling me, I need to log into the persons Mac as the administrator and get the information from there. Is that correct?

Is there a way to find it on the OS X Server?

Thanks,
