How can I determine the edition of Exchange Server 2007/2010 from the registry?
Is there a way to determine the edition of Exchange Server 2007/2010 from the registry? We have some limitation on using Powershell. I found a link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240152 for Exchange 2000/2003, and am looking for something similar for Exchange 2007/2010. Thanks!

Thanks James. I found "DisplayVersion" under the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\461C2B4266EDEF444B864AD6D9E5B613\InstallProperties , but it has the Version 8.2.176.2. I am looking for the edition information(Enterprise/Standard). Any idea where I can find that?

Ahh, appears you can't get that info from the registry. What is the limitation you're encountering using powershell?James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

Hello, the problem with Powershell is that the version is read from the active directory and this information isn't updated via rollups. The easiest way to get the correct version is to check the version of store.exe which has the correct version information. Greetings, Toni

Thanks James. The limitation is more from our application rather than Powershell.

Greetings, Toni EDIT: Sorry, I thought you wanted to know the VERSION, not the EDITION.

You can get the Exchange server version by the Build number 8.2.176.2, which you can refer to the following article: Exchange Server and Update Rollups Builds Numbers So, your version is Exchange Server 2007 SP2. Hope this helps. Thanks Sophia Xu
