Thanks for the suggestions. I have considered using VAMT, and I'm actually testing it right now, but there is a large segment of clients that it won't be able to hit due to their placement in various DMZ locations. That is why I want to try and do this with SCCM if possible. The AI suggestion was good, but we don't use that feature in SCCM, have a 3rd party product for that. Just thinking to get that part running, just for this, will take more time than my idea to use DCM with a VBScript.

You should/may be able to use it. The Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT), part of the AIK (although that’s a really old version) and ADK (and also downloadable separately) will also connect to systems are tell you their activation status.

We have a KMS infrastructure for our Windows 7 and Windows 2008 machines. I've recently found that some machines have had issues with activation, and the groups responsible for remediating have used various work arounds, so these machines still aren't activating. I think it's a small number but I'm trying to figure out the best way to find out exactly what machines, and how many. All of these boxes report into SCCM. I was thinking about running a VBScript in DCM (doing that for a few things already) and based on the output of a slmgr.vbs /dli command create a custom WMI class to hold a Yes/No value. so the script would look in the out put for something like the extended PID. There is no single point of direct access to the client machines. Multiple sites, multiple forests, multiple DMZ subnets...etc..... so the SCCM route would be preferred. Anyone doing something like this? Easier way? Suggestions?
