How Can I Confirm Exchange 2007 SCC CMS version?
I've been working at upgrading all Exchange 2007 SP1 nodes to SP2.
Exchange Topology:
Two phys servers running both CAS and HT roles (CASHT1/CASHT2)
Two phys servers running the mailbox server role in an SCC cluster. (MBXCN1/MBXCN2)
As part of the upgrade process for the mailbox nodes, as documented by MS, you would:
-Upgrade passive node to SP2.
-Stop CMS
-Move CMS to passive node.
-Upgrade CMS
-Upgrade "active" (now passive) node to SP2.
Done.
All was well until I went to upgrade CMS. It errored out. Per MS documentation, CMS should automatically start when the upgrade completes. The error I received was that it could not automatically start the CMS...although it quickly came online when I manually started the disks/resources.
All I want to do now is CONFIRM that CMS was upgraded. I can see that both NODES are upgrade to SP2...but how can I see if CMS is upgraded?
[PS] C:\Windows\System32>Get-Ex
Name : CASHT1
Edition : Enterprise
AdminDisplayVersion : Version 8.2 (Build 176.2)
Name : CMS
Edition : Enterprise
AdminDisplayVersion : Version 8.2 (Build 176.2)
Name : CASHT2
Edition : Enterprise
AdminDisplayVersion : Version 8.2 (Build 176.2)
Does this mean CMS has upgraded successfully?

Per MS: If CMS is showing the right version (in my case, 8.2) via PS command get-exchangeserver ... that is the best indicator. To fully confirm, we attempted a failover and failback of the cluster ... which completed successfully ... which would not have been the case had the nodes and/or CMS been different versions. Looks good.
