ADAM Service Pack

Mike

Is there a simple way to tell what SP level ADAM is running under? Thanks.

Dmitri Gavrilov [MSFT]

You mean ADAM SP level or host OS SP level?
If you are talking about ADAM, then:
* if you are local to the machine, then you can read
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/ADAM_Shared. There are some
values there that indicate the version of the binaries installed.
* if you need this info remotely, you can read dsaVersionString from rootDSE
(you need to explicitly request this attribute, and you must be bound as an
ADAM admin to see it). It will return DLL version stamp from adamdsa.dll
(the main binary).

OS level can be obtained from WMI.
