It's stored in the registry, so you could query that... not a great option.

Thanks for the tip. I did some Googling and came across this site.

The registry LoginMode DWORD is stored in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQLServer

2 = Mixed Mode Security

1 = Windows Authentication.

Thanks for your help Grant.
