MS SQL Server Version and Edition

Tuesday, June 12, 2007

Found a need to determine the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 version I was running.  On a rare occasion, I need to determine the SQL Server versions being used with our Corporate Applications.  Most of those installations are SQL Server 2000 with various Service Pack or Hot Fix levels.

Microsoft Support provides a document called “How to identify your SQL Server version and edition” to help you decipher the SQL Server version and edition you have installed.
