Is there any way to get sql servers version information using sp_oa%% procedures? I need this to fetch sql server version information for sql servers running on a common network.
Thanks in advance.

MJ I'm not sure on the whole sp_oa option, but if you create linked servers to each of your networked SQL servers, you can query them with an OPENQUERY command; maybe this would be easier to implement?

SELECT @@VERSION, SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(myLinkedServer,'SELECT @@VERSION, SERVERPROPERTY(''productversion''), SERVERPROPERTY (''productlevel''), SERVERPROPERTY (''edition'')')
