How to identify if systems are booted into UEFI or BIOS mode.

I need a solution

I have just upgraded to GSS 3.1 MP5... I should have posted this long ago but worked around it instead.  Looking for a way of programatically indentifying wether a system is booted into UEFI or BIOS mode.  On USB drives I am able to use the Microsoft recommended method of using a command to query a value in the registry of the booted winpe environment for a value.  The microsoft method is found at the followiing URL:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/h...

The problem is that the value referenced above is not present in any Altiris or GSS registry when WinPE is running in UEFI mode.

We have some scripts that run in WinPE that depend on wether the system is being imaged in UEFI mode or Legacy mode and the scripts behave differently based on the boot mode.  Any assistance is greatly appreciated.  Thanks :)
