Determine the build version of Sharepoint

Anatoly Mironov

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
