Finding out Exchnage and SQL SP level through registry or other means.....
Is there a way to tell what Service Pack Level Exchange and SQL are at by looking at the registry? The reason I ask is I am performing a disaster recovery on a SBS03 server using Backup Exec and from what I understand it is critical that both Exchange and SQL be at the same Service Pack level as they were when the failure occured before restoring. I have already restored the OS partition and it is functioning, but Exchnage and SQL both were installed on another partition. So I hope that there is some way to find this out..... Thx

Sorry about not being clearer, but it is Exchange2k3 and I'm looking for the Service Pack level, not that original installed version.

To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar
Find the appropriate GUID registry subkey as listed below. Verify that the DisplayName in the right pane equals Microsoft Exchange 2000. The following subkeys indicate the version of Exchange 2000 that is installed on the server:
DB20F7FD-67BC-4813-8808-78
775CF3DA-C007-4709-B4CC-CE

Note: Microsoft does not support attempts to change the value of this registry key. If you change the subkey value, it will not change the version or functionality of the Exchange 2000 software that is installed.
Quit Registry Editor.
