Not sure whether this is effient method
Search for the file master.mdf, if it is found, then there is chance SQL Server is installed
Why do you want to do this?

Check to see if the SQL Server Service is running....
Now..wait.. I am not asking you to open Services MMC and look for it in every server.
Run this VB Script and parse the results..
(Change the variable in the first line to your server name)

[code]
strComputer = "YOUR_COMPUTER_NAME"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colRunningServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Service")

For Each objService in colRunningServices
If Mid(objService.DisplayName,1,5) = "MSSQL" Then
Wscript.Echo objService.DisplayName & VbTab & objService.State
end If
Next
[\code]
