| Find out which service pack version is installed on a Windows 2000 Server |
| If you want to check which service pack version is installed on your machine, you have several |
| avenues you can use to gain this information. |
| If you only need this information for your local machine, just open the Start menu, select Run, |
| type winver, and click OK. The resulting dialog box displays the operating system and the service |
| pack version. The output should look something like this: |
| Version 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 2) |
| Copyright (C) 1981-1999 Microsoft Corp. |
| Running the System Information utility is another way to determine service pack version. This |
| utility is located in the System Tools folder on your Start menu, or you can go to Start | Run and |
| You can also use the System Information utility to get a remote computer's service pack version. |
| From the Action menu, select Properties. In the resulting dialog box, specify the name of the |
| remote computer and click OK. |
| Yet another way to get the version is to query the CSDVersion value of registry key: |
| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion |
| This value lists the service pack installed. You can query this value programmatically or manually |
| through the Registry Editor. |
