How To Find Out Which Service Packs Are Installed For Project Server 2003

The service packs for Project Server 2003 come in three distinct components: Server, SharePoint and SQL Server. It is not uncommon to come across installations where only one of the three components of the service pack has actually been installed and this leads to problems.

Checking what service pack has been applied to Project Server 2003 (Server portion) is simple. Simply check the version of the pds.dll.

Location of pds.dll file is (if you use default settings during installation) C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Project Server 2003\BIN.

Service Pack --> PDS Version

No Service Pack --> 11.2003.0816
Service Pack 1 --> 11.2004.0.1707
Service Pack 2 --> 11.2005.0.3801
Service Pack 2a --> 11.2005.0.4110

Remember, if you have modified one of the PWA Active Server Pages, they may not get updated by the service pack
(kb906357).
