  Hello,

  The Windows Desktop Perfmon and Diagnostic tools forum is to discuss performance monitor (perfmon), resource monitor (resmon), and task manager, focusing on HOW-TO, Errors/Problems, and usage scenarios.
  
  As the question is off topic here, I am moving it to the Where is the Forum... forum.

  Karl

  Hello,

  Follow-up questions should be asked in the System Center Configuration Manager forums

  Hi,

  yes asset intelligence feature would work if we were not in a middle of an sccm upgrade to 2012, and our reporting services are not working because we moved the database to another SQL server and we decided not to waste time on it, instead we are doing the upgrade.

  I was thinking that powershell could do it but, i am no powershell expert:

  Get-ADComputer -filter * | get-wmiobject -class softwarelicensingproduct - would be a place to start. if somebody can help it would be great!

  
  Thanks,

  Hi,

  If you're looking for PowerShell help, you can post over here:

  https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/home?forum=winserverpowershell&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc

  Make sure you post your script and your errors.

  EDIT: Never mind, I see you already found that forum:

  So as far as you guys know there is no tool except SCCM that could accurately tell us the current number of licenses?

  Perhaps this:

  I haven't used this personally. I use ConfigMgr for this purpose.
