Anywhere?

If you're going to manage SQL Server, you should have it SOMEWHERE. If not
regular Management Studio then at least the express version (which is free).

From there you can run

Hey everyone,

We have a server that is running SQL 2005 but we don't know if it's full SQL
2005 or SQL 2005 Express. Can someone tell me how I can find out?

We DON'T have SQL Server Mangement Studio installed.

How about connection with SQLCMD and execute below?
SELECT @@VERSION
GO

Hey Tibor,

Thanks for the advice, however, I don't know how to use the sqlcmd command.
Got any tips? I tried the /? but that didn't help much.
