Server Versions for Windows SharePoint Services

The server version identifies the exact version of Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services in use on a Web server. The general form is:

server version=

  • major ver=n
  • minor ver=n
  • phase ver=n
  • verincr=v

in which n is a positive integer and v is a positive four-digit integer.

The value of the major ver parameter is the major release number of Windows SharePoint Services on the specific Web server. The value of the minor ver parameter is the minor release number. The value of the phase ver parameter is the phase release of the minor release. The value of the verincr parameter is the incremental phase number of the minor release.

Example

server version=6.0.2.5420

The example indicates that the version of Windows SharePoint Services in use is 6.0.2.5420, which maps to the following values:

  • major version=6
  • minor version=0
  • phase version=2
  • incremental phase number=5420
