Determine the build version of Sharepoint

By Anatoly Mironov

October 11, 2011

Sometimes you need to know what version of Sharepoint is installed on your machine. Perhaps when you want to restore a .bak-file (a backup done on another machine and you get error message like:

Restore-SPSite : Your backup is from a different version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation and cannot be restored to a
 server running the current version. The backup file should be restored to a server with version '14.0.0.6109' or later

To find out your build version you can do it in UI: go to Central Administration -> System Settings -> Manage servers in this farm -> Configuration database version. Or you can do in Powershell running:

(get-spfarm).buildversion

If you need to install an update, I have a good link to you: Lista di versioni di SharePoint Server 2010. Per favore
