SharePoint - How to Determine Your SharePoint Version

To determine what version of SharePoint 2007 is installed on a server you will have to examine the properties of files on your servers or the IIS web server to determine the SharePoint version running on the server.

There are two ways you can determine the version:

1.Navigate to the \12\bin\ folder and check file versions
2.Use IIS Manager and look at the web site properties

The second approach is much more efficient. These steps for using IIS Manager to determine the SharePoint version are:

1.Sign in one of your SharePoint front end web servers
2.Open IIS Manager (can be found by navigating to Start, Administrative Tools, Internet Information Server (IIS) Manager)
3.Expend the folder labeled “Web Sites”
4.Right-click on the web site named “SharePoint Central Administration” and select “Properties”
5.Click on the tab named “HTTP Headers”
6.Look at the field named “Customer HTTP Headers”
7.Compare the value displayed for “MicrosoftSharePointTeamServices” to the following list.
