    I'm trying to figure out whether I installed a SharePoint server in Farmed mode or Stand-alone. What can I do to check?

    Standalone uses SQL express deployed during the installation process (I think it also names the instance SHAREPOINT).

    I think ServerRole is written into registry so search for key "ServerRole" and if it says STANDALONE :)

    As per this thread:

    Check the registry

    "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\14.0\WSS"

    There will be an entry for "ServerRole" which will tell you the installation type

    Stand Alone -
    SINGLESERVER

    Farm Stand Alone -
    WFE

    Farm Complete -
    APPLICATION
