I have a concern that I want to know what are all the operating versions are being used in our organization. I have tried searching the same through different queries like windows wild card and stuff like that, but seems no luck.

Any special query to get this?

The Splunk 5.x App for windows should have come up with a WMI input (check wmi.conf file, sourcetype=WMI:Version). Ensure that that is enabled. Then following should give you the OS information

index=main sourcetype="WMI:Version" | rex "Caption=(?<OS>.*)" | table host, OS, Version, ServicePackMajorVersion, ServicePackMinorVersion

Just for reference, following is the content of wmi.conf for [WMI:Version].

wmi.conf

[WMI:Version]
disabled = 1
## Run once per day
interval = 86400
wql = SELECT Caption, ServicePackMajorVersion, ServicePackMinorVersion, Version FROM Win32_OperatingSystem
