I have just completed a project and wants to rollout. However one last piece that seems inefficient is a part in my code that creates a linked server necessary to populate a table on the fly while executing the script. We have a ton of 2008 SQL Servers and also 2012s and I'm confused on how to tell SQL Server to use SQLNCLI10 to create the linked server if its a 2008 version or use SQLNCLI11 if its a 2012 version. Any thoughts on this?

Document your servers, including provisioning (prod/QA/test/dev), version, patch-level, etc., in a table. I have a database called "DBA" that I use for that kind of thing.
Comes in useful pretty regularly. Especially when it comes time to audit licensing.
