How can I get the version of SharePoint that is installed on my server?
Run this PowerShell script
get-spfarm | select BuildVersion
It's crazy that there is no easy way to find out what Edition (SKU) of SharePoint 2013 are you running. To find out, you have to dig the registry:
Open Regedit
Navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\InstalledProducts
Compare the guids with these:
C5D855EE-F32B-4A1C-97A8-F0A28CE02F9C -- SharePoint Server 2013
CBF97833-C73A-4BAF-9ED3-D47B3CFF51BE -- SharePoint Server 2013 Preview

You can use powershell too
Open SharePoint Powershell with Run as administrator
Run this command:
get-spfarm | select BuildVersion
Thanks Naim Murati.
If it's up and working, or just a webserver running SharePoint and you don't have access to console/admin/registry or s.th. else, just good ol' browser, you might add _vti_pvt/service.cnf after your base SharePoint-URL to determine the version number.
You'll get something like this:
vti_encoding:SR|utf8-xx
vti_extenderversion:SR|15.x.x.x
And Versionmapping... As far as I remember (please correct me if incorrect):
v12.x = SP2007/WSS
v14.x = SP2010
v15.x and higher = SP2013
Dunno the one for SP2007 anymore.
Just had to figure this out and found this answer is missing here, though you might (?) not be able to get more insight, just the general version (as said, please correct me if it's more specific, in the comments).
Edit: Here you can find the exact Version numbers from SP2007 to SP2013: http://blog.fpweb.net/what-sharepoint-version-am-i-using/#.VBlbNucv-9Y (you have to scroll a bit, just under the mid of the article).
open SharePoint Management shell and type command
(Get-SPFarm).Products
you will get the GUIDs. Find your GUID from below list. That will be your installed SharePoint version

I tried to upgrade SharePoint Foundation 2010 Fresh web application to SharePoint 2013.
I found out that upgrade will stuck at some point.
I can only see one error in error log.
But i already installed report server in SharePoint 2013 environment.
More info:
SharePoint 2010 Build version
SharePoint 2013 Build version
Even though I installed Report server after run the 'Test-SPContentDatabase' command throws following error.
You should first check if this is an issue in your 2010 environment. In central admin if you go to Review Problems and Solutions you can check to see if there are any "Missing server side dependencies". I tend to try and remove this in a non-production environment first, before moving it to 2013 just to be sure it doesn't cause any issues in prod. MissingFeatures are always a nuisance. This feature admin tool has worked for me in the past.
also look at this releases.
Is following scenario possible?
We have got TFS 2013 installed as a standard single server. This server has got the SQL db.
We have got SharePoint 2013 installed on another machine.
Now we want to integrate TFS 2013 with SharePoint 2013 along with SSRS and SSAS for reports, etc.
Please guide whether this is possible or we need to install TFS via Advanced mode again?
No problem, you can integrate your existing TFS single server deployment with your external SharePoint server assuming you have the necessary permissions.

Adding SSRS and SSAS is relatively simple too and can be on the same server as TFS or a different one.

I'd like to put a table form oracle on my sharepoint 2010 (and soon to be updated 2013) site so that the table can be updated and new rows can be inserted. After googling using BCS seems to be the only option. Is this correct? the Sharepoint designer will not work with Oracle?
Also when I open Visual Studio 2012 Professional and click on new project>>Sharepoint>>Sharepoint 2010 Project I get an error saying
Sharepoint server must be installed to workwith share point projects.
Do I need to install sharepoint server on my machine?
Can anyone provide any documentation on how to do this? what happens when I go to Sharepoint 2013?
Oh yea and I have windows 7. Will sharepoint server work on windows 7?
Thank you!
I'll try to answer all your questions.
Oracle connectivity
BCS supports Oracle but it's not trivial. Sharepoint designer is a tool where you can create External Types (BCS types). But with Sharepoint Designer you are limited to SQL Server, WCF Services and .NET assemblies. There are few workarounds:
Create linked server to oracle in SQL Serve Management Studio and use Sharepoint Designer to create BCSentities
You can create service for fetching oracle data and use Sharepoint designer to create BCS entities
If you just want to display some data from oracle and have developer knowledge. You can use ODAC for .NET and create webparts for displaying data (the simplest solution of all).
For Sharepoint 2010 Development you have to install sharepoint (foundation or server) on copmuter where your VS resides. Sharepoint foundation could be installed on Windows 7 x64. Installation is trivial download sharepoint foundation and run installation file.
For Sharepoint 2013. You can create apps and client apps on remote computer but for farm solutions there is the same rule (but SP 2013 can't be installed on Windows 7).
I've been looking around TFS 2013 screenshots and I notice how it look like it's implemented over Sharepoint 2013...
So, when i install TFS 2013, do I get a full blown sharepoint (with central admin and everything), just a site collection (a "light" version of it) or none (meaning if, i want a web interface, i have point to my sharepoint and say "use that one")???
PS: Since i'm in a corporate environment i don't have a spare machine to just install it and check it for myself, and other documentation don't make this clear...
TFS has its own web-based interface (TFS Web Access) that isn't based on SharePoint. It also has the ability to integrate with SharePoint which will cause SP-based Project Portals to be created with every Team Project (this is in addition to TFS Web Access).
When you install TFS you can choose to have the TFS Install install/configure SharePoint Foundation, or you can point it to a pre-existing SP Foundation or Enterprise environment.
SharePoint Foundation 2013 can be installed with TFS, if you specify that in the installation.

SharePoint Products requirements for Team Foundation Server
I've just tried out TFS 2010 today, along with Project 2010 and VS 2010. Only Later realized that without Sharepoint, TFS is only configured as Basic. This reduces it's functionality as oppose to what I've seen during VS2010 product launch. Sadly I can't find any alternative but to get a trial copy of Sharepoint to see if it serve my purpose. Well, apparently Sharepoint only comes with x64 edition. I'm not formatting any machine to x64 just to give this a try. So, after some reading up, I found that Project Server is actually based on Sharepoint. Now I wonder is whether TFS can be configure to connect to Project Server?
If it's possible, would the setting be much different that Sharepoint's?
And what am I missing from this setup as oppose to Sharepoint's?
Based on Sharepoint != Sharepoint. I think that Project Server is just a subset of Sharepoint functionality. Also, basing Project on Sharepoint allows for some really tight integration into your portal. To answer your question, I don't think you still will get your fully featured TFS without Sharepoint Proper.
FYI - Sharepoint 2007 (or 3.0 or whatever it is) is not x64 only, but will run on x86. TFS 2010 will go full feature on 2007
Sharepoint 2007 Trial
To answer what you are missing:
Reports
Project Portal
TFS Web Access
That's about it. You still get 90% of the features with your current deployment without SharePoint. Tommy is right about MOSS 2007, it comes in 32-bit and will give you all features. Project Server runs on top of SharePoint as a shared service provider. Traditionally MS releases a power toy to integrate TFS with Project Server. They said they would go over this at TechEd, which just happened about a week ago.
Also, I suspect the integration with Project Server 2010 will be better, but then you will have to run SharePoint 2010 :(
In my opinion, TFS has enough to run most projects by itself and you can use the client version of MS Project for critical path anaylsis, etc.
Use Windows Sharepoint Services for Windows 2003 & Windows 2008:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/sharepoint/bb400747.aspx
For Windows Server 2008 sp2 and Windows Server R2, use SharePoint Foundation 2010:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=49c79a8a-4612-4e7d-a0b4-3bb429b46595&displaylang=en
Both are free.
I'm not formatting any machine to x64
just to give this a try.
Why not use VMWare Server, Hyper-V, Virtual Box or some other virtualization software to run the pre-made demo/trial/lab VHD's - no formatting, no installation, no setup, more hair.
