Is there a way to deduce what version of SQL Serve is installed by looking at the executable and path of the agent and engine? I have a large list of installations and cannot login to them but would like to report on what version they are. These are two examples.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn\SQLAGENT90.EXE -i MSSQLSERVER


C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\SQLAGENT.EXE -i MSSQLSERVER

I am not 100 percent sure, but I think this power shell script enumerates the servers including their versions: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Create-Inventory-of-SQL-19d61963 I have only looked through it in the past, never really run it, but please do check it out to see if that will meet your needs.

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion') AS Version, SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel') as SP - once you've logged on
