Quickly Figure out a SharePoint Farm Version

  • Article

Here is a nice quick script that you can run on any SharePoint site to determine the version of SharePoint the farm is running. Thanks to the $cript Fanatic Blog - Shay that helped me construct the query (https://scriptolog.blogspot.com/2007/08/query-http-status-codes-and-headers.html)

$url = "https://sharepoint"

$xHTTP = New-Object -ComObject msxml2.xmlhttp

$xHTTP.open("GET", $url, $false)

$xHTTP.send()

$xHTTP.getResponseHeader("MicrosoftSharePointTeamServices")

 

Output: 14.0.0.5128
