How do I determine the SP and Rollup version of an Exchange installation?

Question

How do I determine the SP version number and Rollup version of an Exchange installation?

Solution 1

Slow method

Open "Programs and Features", select view updates, and search for the relevant Exchange 2010 patch.

Fast method

Run this command in Powershell

 gcm exsetup | %{$_.fileversioninfo}

Then use this URL to decipher the version number: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/240.exchange-server-and-update-rollups-build-numbers-en-us.aspx This site seems to have more versions than the former - my Exchange version, 14.03.0123.004, wasn't listed on the former, but I found it here: https://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh135098.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

Solution 2

I created a PowerShell function to retrieve the proper version information for Exchange 2007, 2010 and 2013. My blog post includes the code and some usage examples. Since the function is over 200 lines, I will not include it here. The following is some sample usage and output of the function:

Get Installed Updates (Cumulative and Update Rollups) for a Single Server

[PS] Get-ExchangeServerPlus -cn exch01 | select -ExpandProperty update | ft inst*,upd*,desc* -AutoSize

InstallDate UpdateBuild Description

Output All Exchange Server Object Properties with Installed Updates

How does this add to the other answers? More detail would improve this answer

This (AdminDisplayVersion) does not reveal what RU has been installed, as explained in blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/10/29/…
