So my problem:
I have to query Linked servers for Version number and evaluate it against another. This is going to be used in a SP that will do other stuff, not related to this issue. Also, the environment has MSSQL 2000 up to MSSQL 2008R2. I specifically want to identify the MSSQL 2000 servers, they are my issue in the next phase of my project.
My solution (but not it seems):
I have created the following Dynamic Query to hit the Linked servers:
DECLARE @ServerName AS VARCHAR(50)
SET @ServerName = <YOURSERVERNAME>
DECLARE @Sql AS VARCHAR(100), @Result AS VARCHAR(10)
SET @Sql = 'SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([' + @ServerName + '], ' + '''' + 'SELECT SERVERPROPERTY(' + '''' + '''' + 'productversion' + '''' + '''' + ')' + '''' + ')'
EXECUTE (@Sql) OUT, @RESULT OUTPUT
IF @Result <= '9.00.1399.06'
BEGIN
PRINT 'Yes'
END
ELSE
PRINT 'No'
The first declare parameter @ServerName and PRINT statements are just to test my conditional results. @ServerName will be generated from a CURSOR later. I'm sure my issue has to do with the OUT and OUTPUT parameters, but I just can't seem to get my head unlocked from this one. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Here you go:
DECLARE @ServerName AS NVARCHAR(50)
SET @ServerName = <YOURSERVERNAME>
DECLARE @SQL AS NVARCHAR(1000), @Result AS NVARCHAR(10)
SET @SQL = 'SELECT @theResult = CAST(Result AS NVARCHAR(50)) FROM OPENQUERY([' + @ServerName + '], ' + '''' + 'SELECT SERVERPROPERTY(' + '''' + '''' + 'productversion' + '''' + '''' + ') AS Result' + '''' + ')'
exec sp_executesql @SQL, N'@theResult NVARCHAR(50) output', @Result OUTPUT
IF @Result <= '9.00.1399.06'
BEGIN
PRINT 'Yes'
END
ELSE
PRINT 'No'

It takes a minimal capacity for rational thought to see that the corporate 'free press' is a structurally irrational and biased, and extremely violent, system of elite propaganda.

Society has varying and conflicting interests; what is called objectivity is the disguise of one of these interests - that of neutrality. But neutrality is a fiction in an unneutral world. There are victims, there are executioners, and there are bystanders... and the 'objectivity' of the bystander calls for inaction while other heads fall.

You're welcome 😀
Just noticed you may want to change the size of your @Result variable to more than 10 characters as the version number you're checking is 12 characters long?
