Validate a SQL Server Installation

The [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] discovery report can be used to verify the version of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] and the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] features installed on the computer. The Installed [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] features discovery report displays a report of all [!INCLUDEssVersion2000], [!INCLUDEssVersion2005], [!INCLUDEssKatmai], [!INCLUDEssKilimanjaro], [!INCLUDEssSQL11], [!INCLUDEssSQL14], [!INCLUDEssSQL15], and [!INCLUDEssSQL15] products and features that are installed on the local server. The [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] features discovery report is available on the Tools page on the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Installation center.

Run [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] features discovery report

Launch the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Installation center, using the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to [!INCLUDEmsCoName][!INCLUDEssNoVersion] <Version Name>, point to Configuration Tools, and click [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Installation Center. To run the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] features discovery report, click Tools in the left-hand navigation area of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Installation Center, and then click Installed [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] features discovery report.

The [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] discovery report is saved to %ProgramFiles%\[!INCLUDEmsCoName][!INCLUDEssNoVersion]\nnn\Setup Bootstrap\Log\<last Setup Session>.

You can also generate the discovery report through the command line. Run “Setup.exe /Action=/proxy/https/github.com/MicrosoftDocs/sql-docs/blob/e3d712999477132f722bfd575c128fa54260a160/docs/database-engine/install-windows/RunDiscovery%E2%80%9D from a command prompt If you add “/q” to the command line above no UI will be shown, but the report will still be created in %ProgramFiles%\[!INCLUDEmsCoName][!INCLUDEssNoVersion]\nnn\Setup Bootstrap\Log\<last Setup Session>.
