Previous tech did not document installs and now we are left with the question: Which machines have OEM or Volume license on them? Many of the machines have OEM keys available but were installed incorrectly with the Volume keys. I would like to automate this process as we will need to be going through 100 computers with half of those from a remote location.

You could also do this in a batch script:

systeminfo /S %computername% | findstr "Product ID:"

OEM installs will have the word "OEM" in the returned Product ID. With the /S flag, you could check a remote system as well, just replace %computername% with the hostname. It would be easy to provide a list of computers, and run it through a FOR loop to check and save the values to a file.

Hope that helps.
