ConfigMgr Compliance Baseline to verify Windows Activation Status

In most environments we are running KMS and don’t tend to think to often about our activation status but with more and more systems coming and going with BYOD and god knows what else your technicians are doing throughout your enterprise its good to have some piece of mind from a ConfigMgr perspective and validate that your systems are indeed licensed properly.  In this post ill provide the Powershell code for detection and remediation utilizing the KMS Client Setup Keys from https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj612867(v=ws.11).aspx as well as the Compliance Baseline to import and implement for a few operating system types.  Feel free to extend for your supported operating systems.

Discovery Script:

#Windows Activation
if((cscript "$env:SystemRoot\system32\slmgr.vbs" -dli all) -Contains "License Status: Licensed")
{
Write-Host $False
}
else
{
Write-Host $True
}

Remediation Script:

# Determine OS and Set KMS Client key
