Detect Exchange version by Redemption

Question

does anybody know how to detect Exchange server version when connected by Redemption?

rdoSession.ExchangeMailboxServerName returns the machine name rdoSession.ExchangeMailboxServerVersion returns something like "14.3.181.4006"

what I need to find out is whether its 2007 or 2010, etc.

Answer 1

You have enough information to determine the exact version of Exchange you are connected to. The ExchangeMailboxServerVersion is returning the build number of the server you are connecting to, and you can compare this number to a list of server versions. For example, I know that the build number you reference is Update Rollup 5 for Exchange Server 2010 SP3.

For a list of the build numbers, product names, and release dates check out this article on TechNet:

I hope this helps. If this does resolve your question, please mark this post as answered.

Check out this site:

It contains a list of all Exchange Server versions, service packs and update rollups and which four-part version number those refer to.
