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:



Microsoft(R) Windows

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

type winmsd.exe.



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.
