Which X Window system is installed on my server that would work with Xming?

I would like to use Xming to connect a server and managed to get it to work. I am now trying to get it to connect to a different server but i am not sure which X Window system is installed. I tried it through putty and i get the following error/warning:

Code:

/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_67/bin> jvisualvm
/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_67/lib/visualvm/platform/lib/nbexec: WARNING: environment variable DISPLAY is not set

I have previously used a windows BAT script to launch XWindows - Shown below:

Code:

    @echo off
    SET LOCAL_HOST=localhost
    SET PATH=C:\wresourcex\bin\Xming
    
    SET REMOTE_HOST=%1
    SET SCREEN=%2
    
    REM Default to archie with screen 1
    if "%1"=="" SET REMOTE_HOST=MySever.com
    if "%2"=="" SET SCREEN=0
    
    SET DISPLAY=%LOCAL_HOST%:%SCREEN%.0
    
    REM For XDM logon just run this line
    REM run Xming -query %REMOTE_HOST% -lesspointer -emulate3buttons
    
    REM For SSH Tunneling use these 2 lines
    rem run Xming :%SCREEN% -lesspointer -notrayicon -emulate3buttons
    run plink -ssh -X %REMOTE_HOST% /usr/dt/bin/Xsession
    
    REM Use this if want Gnome instead
    rem run plink -ssh -X %REMOTE_HOST% /usr/bin/gnome-session

The above works in one server but not on the one i am using now. I have looked at both the /usr/dt/bin/ and /usr/bin folders and both program (referred to in the script) do not exist in those locations. I am guessing that i need to use a different program but how do i know which "Xwindow" program is installed on the server i want to connect to or does it matter?

Note - I do not have admin access on the server so cannot install anything.

Thanks

XInstallColormap(3X11)						     MIT X11R4						    XInstallColormap(3X11)

Name
       XInstallColormap, XUninstallColormap, XListInstalledColormaps - control colormaps

Syntax
       XInstallColormap(display, colormap)
	  Display *display;
	  Colormap colormap;

       XUninstallColormap(display, colormap)
	  Display *display;
	  Colormap colormap;

       Colormap *XListInstalledColormaps(display, w, num_return)
	  Display *display;
	  Window w;
	  int *num_return;

Arguments
       colormap  Specifies the colormap.

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       num_return
		 Returns the number of currently installed colormaps.

       w	 Specifies the window that determines the screen.

Description
       The function installs the specified colormap for its associated screen.	All windows associated with this colormap immediately display with
       true colors.  You associated the windows with this colormap when you created them by calling or

       If the specified colormap is not already an installed colormap, the X server generates a event on each window that has that colormap.  In
       addition, for every other colormap that is installed as a result of a call to the X server generates a event on each window that has that
       colormap.

       can generate a error.

       The function removes the specified colormap from the required list for its screen.  As a result, the specified colormap might be unin-
       stalled, and the X server might implicitly install or uninstall additional colormaps.  Which colormaps get installed or uninstalled is
       server-dependent except that the required list must remain installed.

       If the specified colormap becomes uninstalled, the X server generates a event on each window that has that colormap.  In addition, for
       every other colormap that is installed or uninstalled as a result of a call to the X server generates a event on each window that has that
       colormap.

       can generate a error.

       The function returns a list of the currently installed colormaps for the screen of the specified window.  The order of the colormaps in the
       list is not significant and is no explicit indication of the required list.  When the allocated list is no longer needed, free it by using

       can generate a error.

Diagnostics
       A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.

       A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
