Determine the version of MOSS 2007 installed

Recently I came across with an assignment to upgrade MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010. MOSS 2007 was already installed but no documentation was available. I asked the system administrator and he had no clue as he just joined the company. I need to know the service pack installed in the MOSS 2007 farm and I thought of document this as it may help others.

First browse to the central administration on the MOSS 2007 Farm

Click on Operations tab, you will reach the following screen

Under topology and services, click on “Servers in farm”

See the highlighted portion that is the version number. Now you need to find out what is that version, you can use the following table for reference. As it is indicated, my server farm already equipped with SP2.

 

Version Number

Description

First Release Version (RTM)

12.0.0.4518

Service Pack 1

12.0.0.6219

Service Pack 2

12.0.0.6421

 

If you install patches, the version number will vary, but it will be sequential, once you install SP1, the version number will be between 12.0.0.6219 and 12.0.0.6421. For e.g. if you have the version number 12.0.0.6301, then you can assume it is service pack 1 with some patches installed.
