Additional Information

This is as designed. These functions will list objects that contain a spatial column, both registered and non-registered.

Workaround

Use the arcpy.Describe function to find the dataset ID (DSID). Registered objects will have a value greater than 0. gdb = r'Database Connections\Connection to sde.sde' arcpy.env.workspace = gdb for fc in arcpy.ListFeatureClasses(): desc = arcpy.Describe(fc) if desc.DSID > 0: print '{} is registered'.format(fc) if desc.DSID < 0: print '{} is not registered'.format(fc)
