Hello!
I am trying to determine how to differentiate a SQL 2000 and MSDE install
without running a query on the database.
In mmc's post and Andrea's answer on 1/18/05, a clear solution using a query
is noted.
I would like to be able to read a registy value to make the determination if
possible.
Thanks very much for the assistance.
Carl
Hi
Gave you installed SQL Server on one machine, MSDE on another one and looked
at the differences?

|||Hi Mike,
Yes, three servers and six workstations. Mixed MSDE, Developer and Full SQL.
I was really looking more for an answer rather than a question......
I found this post:
http://www.masterado.net/home/ng/for...t14419113.aspx
=================================================
11/16/2004 4:27:03 PM SQL Server 2000 registry values by edition?
Is it possible to determine through the registry which edition of SQL Server
2000 has been installed - Enterprise, Standard, Personal, Developer,
Evalulation, Windows CE, Desktop (MSDE)?
I know it's possible using 'SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('edition')' in
QueryAnalyzer but what about the registry?
Thanks!
==================================================
11/28/2004 4:20:00 AM RE: SQL Server 2000 registry values by edition?
No, but you can use registry key below to differentiate between MSDE and
other sql editions:
For a named instance:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\<Instance
Name>\Setup
For a default instance:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\ Setup
If one of these keys exist but there is no ProductCode, the instance is one
of the SQL Server 2000 Editions (such as Enterprise, Enterprise Evaluation,
Standard, Developer, or Personal).
If a ProductCode entry is present, the instance is MSDE.
You can also parse the sql errorlog to determine what edition, see KB: INF:

AFAIK, apart from ProductCode key in the Setup hive you already mentioned,
unfortunately there are no registry difference among SQL Server editions,
and MSDE is one of them, and only directly querying the engine determins a
real answer to this question...

How to differentiate process instances in perfmon
In a multi-instance cluster, how can you match a named sql server instance
with an instance of sqlservr.exe? When setting up counter collection in
perfmon, I choose the "process" performance object, then the "% processor
time" counter". In list of instances, I can see sqlservr#1, sqlservr#2, etc.
How do I know which named instance each of those represents?
TIA.
Hello
One way (I dont know if is the best way) is to match the ProcessID on
Process Counter from Performance Monitor to the ProcessID that is on the
ErrorLog from the Instance.
Something like:
PerfMon -> Process -> ProcessID -> Select SQLServer# on the instances.
Now go to SQL Server Enterprise Manager for each instance and look on the
ErrorLog for the line:
Server Process ID is 3636.
That should be easy if you need to do just on time.

|||That's a good idea, thanks for the suggestion.
I don't have access to the error log on all the servers, but I can use
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY ('processid')

SET NOCOUNT ON
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY ( 'Edition' )
