    Is there a way to add Extended Properties to a SQL Server (2005+) instance? This is part of an effort to document the purpose and context of individual database servers.

    extended properties are stored in a database; so to make any sense i guess you'd store instance information in master, right? that's where i'd add them;

    this worked on my master database in SQL2008:

    EXEC sys.sp_addextendedproperty

    @name = N'Version',

    @value = N'9.0.154.90'

    EXEC sys.sp_addextendedproperty

    @name = N'InstanceName',

    @value = N'LOWELL\SQL2008'

    SELECT *

    FROM fn_listextendedproperty (NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
