Hi,

We have been trying to identify our SQL server edition for the past couple of days and I am totally confused. According to the person that had installed SQL Server on our servers, he is pretty sure he installed the enterprise version. But if we were to run @@VERSION; look at the SQL Server Error Logs from the MSSQL7/Log subdirectory; right click on the server icon, then "properties"; looked at the SQL Setup log in C:\winnt subdirectory; run sqldiag or xp_trace_setqueryhistory; they all say it is SQL Server Desktop Edition.

Example:

ERRORLOG

Microsoft SQL Server 7.00 - 7.00.961 (Intel X86)
Desktop Edition on Windows NT 4.0 (Build 1381: Service Pack 6)

SQLSTUP.LOG

14:25:20 System: Windows NT Server
14:25:20 SQL Server ProductType: Desktop Edition [0x2]

To confuse the issue even more, there is OLAP services installed on the server. Now I was under the belief that OLAP can only be installed on Enterprise and Standard editions. Also, another thing, when we were go on to my co-workers machine it says it is Standard edition. But if I was to look at the server itself properties, it says it is Desktop edition.

So in short, I am confused. Is there any true way of identifying what edition we have? Thanks for any help,

This should help clarify the differences between the Enterprise/Standard/Desktop.

You have Desktop.

If you had EE it would say so on @@Version and in the errorlog.

You can install OLAP with Desktop.

Do you have NT4.0 EE? If not, SQL 7.0 EE cannot be installed.
