Ability to check version being served by server before downloading

We are a MSP looking at removing admin permissions from the end users pc's which means I need to push the installer to users pc's to get SC installed and or updated. I am looking for either a file on the server or a header on the file download indicating the file version so that I do not have to download the installer just to check if the version being offered is the one that is already installed on a given PC.

These are not access sessions and we do not use access sessions through our client support instance.

Ok, in that case. Here's how I do it. I have a PowerShell script that runs and updates our technicians' computers automatically.

by calling the following URL to get the version. 

/OpenApiDocument.axd

Are you talking about the technician's side or the end user side? I mean the installer to view sessions or are you trying to start onetime support sessions? 

On the technician side (session host) otherwise if we install while prepping the laptop as soon as the instance is updated they will be prompted to download and update which they will not be able to and then will end up running outdated versions of the software.
