PowerShell Script to get Exchange Version, Build and Rollup

It's not easy to tell which version and build is installed on Exchange 2007.

I wanted to find a way to display the Exchange version, build number and which Update Rollup is installed on all servers in the organization. I found the perfect script written by Paul Faherty to do just that. I modified the script slightly to work better in Exchange 2003 / 2007 mixed environments.

Download Get-ExchangeServerVersion.ps1 here: Get-ExchangeServerVersion.zip

When you run it from the Exchange Management Shell prompt you will see output similar to the following screen:

The output displays the server name, Exchange roles installed, version (Standard or Enterprise), version number, and the Update Rollups installed and their installation dates.

For you code monkeys, here's the Powershell code:

#Loop through each Exchange server that is found
ForEach ($MsxServer in $MsxServers)

 #Get Exchange server version

  write-host ""
