Using PowerShell to determine IC version number

by Mitch Tulloch [Published on 1 July 2015 / Last Updated on 1 July 2015]

A tip on how you can use PowerShell to determine the Integration Components (IC) version number of a Windows Server operating system installed as the guest OS of a virtual machine on a Hyper-V host.

You can use the Get-VM command to determine the Integration Services (IC) version number of the virtual machines running on your Hyper-V host:

Get-VM | Format-Table Name, IntegrationServicesVersion

Name                                IntegrationServicesVersion

----                        ------------------------

SRV-4.contoso.com          6.2.9200.16384

The resulting IC version numbers include the build number of the Windows Server operating system as follows:

6001 - Windows Server 2008

7600 - Windows Server 2008 R2

7601 - Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

9200 - Windows Server 2012

9600 - Windows Server 2012 R2

From the above we can see that the guest OS of this VM is Windows Server 2012.
