PowerShell check SQL Server version

PowerShell check SQL Server version.

OPMERKING: Better do this from the Windows Server running Microsoft SQL Server

1. Loop Windows PowerShell with elevated permissions (as administrator). As an example, you can do this by Right Mouse Button clicking on the Start button, and selecting WindowsPowerShell (Beheersing);

2. Voer het volgende opdracht uit:

sqlcmd -s <SERVERNAME>\<INSTANCENAME>

OPMERKING: If you use only 1 instance on the server you can use the next command

sqlcmd -s <SERVERNAME>

As example:

sqlcmd -s 21-cm01

3. At the 1> prompt, type:

select @@version

4. At the 2> prompt, type:

go

As a result, you must get something like this. (With your server name and SQL Server version)

In mijn geval, this is SQL-server 2017 (RTM-CU13) 14.0.3048.4 (x64)
