I've been given access to a server and told SP1 was installed on it, but I think maybe it wasn't.How can I check if Service Pack 1 is installed on Windows Server 2008 R2?
What I've tried:
If I right click Computer, then click Properties, it says 'Windows Server 2008 R2' under Windows Edition. I would expect it to say 'Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1' if it was installed, but I did find something in a Windows 7 forum about the Service Pack not showing up in computer properties.
Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 helps keep your PCs and servers on the latest support level. It also provides ongoing improvements to the Windows Operating System (OS), by including previous updates delivered over Windows Update as well as continuing incremental updates to the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 platforms based on customer and partner feedback. Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (KB976932) 02 21 11. Author: Microsoft Corp. Rating: 4 (27 votes) Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) is an important update that includes previously released security, performance, and stability updates for Windows 7.
If I click Control Panel - > Programs - > View Installed Updates, it's not there either. I don't see the words 'Service Pack' or any reference to KB 976932, which I believe is the KB for Service Pack 1 for Server 2008 R2 as well as Windows 7. (Maybe I'm wrong?)
Gun mayhem download free. If I run msinfo32, it shows Version as 6.1.7600 Build 7600
If I call ver.exe from command prompt it says Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Is there any other way to verify if SP1 is installed? Or, could I prove it is NOT installed?
UPDATE: Maybe someone can move this to Server Fault?
Here's the explanation I received: 'The Windows Server 2008 R2 w/sp1 is from our Microsoft download, and the key used only works on that download' Is this normal/expected behavior for a MSDN download?

Go to start > run and type winver. Hit enter and a dialog will appear. On the second line in the main dialog body, you will either see something like this:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

Or, if SP1 is installed you will see this:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600: Service Pack 1]
If a service pack is properly installed, it will always appear in the winver dialog, so it's absence is proof that it is not installed, or is corrupted in some way.
