Question : How to Determine what SQL Databases are Installed & Running?

How can I determine (for sure) all of the SQL databases (especially MSDE & SQL Express) installed/running on an SBS Premium machine?

I can only see one instance of a database running:  Microsoft SQL Server Workgroup Edition (9.0.4053 SP3) - which is part of SBS Premium.  I have looked around (services, programs, tools, etc.) but only see one instance.

The reason for my question is that (based on a SBS program's configuration), there should be an instance of MSDE installed/running.

ANSWER: How to Determine what SQL Databases are Installed & Running?

1) GoTo the Services Console (Start/Administrative Tools/Services)
2) Locate all the occurrences where Name = "MSSQL..."
3) Right-Click on the Name and note the "Path to executable" text box
4) Using the provided path, locate the "sqlservr.exe" file
5) Right-Click on the file and select the Version Tab
6) Note the "File version:" text box + the "Other version information" section
7) Search www.google.com/microsoft for the version number.
8) Results (product version only)
    MSSQL$MSFW:  "8.0.2055"  =  SQL 2000 for ISA Server
    --NOTE: By design, this is a (default/special/hidden) instance of SQL/MSDE
    MSSQL$SBSMONITORING:  "8.0.2055"  =  SQL 2000 for SBS Monitoring
    --NOTE: By design, this is a (default/special/hidden) instance of SQL/MSDE
   MSSQL$SHAREPOINT:   "8.0.2055" = SQL 2000 for Sharepoint
    --NOTE: By design, this is the SBS (default/special/hidden) instance of  SQL/MSDE
9) Results (product level - such as RTM, SP1, SP2)
    Results (edition - such a MSDE, Express, Workgroup, Standard)
Refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321185 and/or the responses provided by the EE experts.  NOTE: This method will require connecting to the SQL Server with a Management Console and creating/running a T-SQL query.
