Getting cumulative update version number which is currently installed on sql server

  • Hi,

    I am trying to find out which cumulative update is currently installed in SQL server 2008 R2.

    I can get the service pack and build number using this:- select @@version which gives me:-

    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2) - 10.50.4000.0 (X64) Jun 28 2012 08:36:30 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (Hypervisor)

    I have searched using 10.50.4000.0 but I can't get the cumulative update.

  • Even though I have installed CU1 as a test, it still shows the build as 10.50.4000.

    The build number with CU1 installed should have changed to: 10.50.4260.

    I am using EXEC xp_msver to get these details.

    I have restarted the server as well but still get the same build number and File version number.

  • Oh, you didn't mention that you already added CU1 in your original post. Ok, is it possible that you may not have installed it properly?

    Did you have any errors? I don't know if it generates a log for a Cumulative update.

    Most people normally don't do cumulative updates unless it fixes something that is impacting them and they can't wait for the next service pack. I wait for service packs.

    You can also see the version of SQL from the GUI - on your instance name when you expand it, you will see the version, also you can right click the instance name and click properties.
