  • 1.  MS office activation status

    Posted May 02, 2023 07:52 AM

    Hi Colleagues,

    Do you have any idea if it possible to make any task and get a report to show if the Microsoft Office (any version) is activated or needs activation?

    Thanks in advance!

    When using Office 2013 - 2019, I was using a VMAT app from Microsoft to manage app activations. If you are using O365 you should be using KMS. Please note that O365 activation is per user and not per computer. It will be very difficult, if not impossible, to report in Altiris the O365 activation status/need. Mainly because Altiris is per computer centric and not per user.

    Hi Tal,
    Thanks for your reply...
    We are using office 2013 & 2016, So we want to know the activation status of the installed office application through Altiris. If it is possible please let me know the process.

    Hi Everyone,
    I have created a task with Powershell script, where I got the Activation status in Script output as True/False. Now I want a complete report if task run in all computers. If anybody have any idea to create report/sql query please share.
    I have attached powershell query and task details with snapshots.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Vikas.Dhiman!

    If we are not talking about to create a custom inventory data class and then populate data using your powershell script task, then you can try custom report just to take your task instance results and see which computer has "False" and which "True" results

    Download custom report from https://community.broadcom.com/symantecenterprise/viewdocument/re-quick-delivery-task-report-with?CommunityKey=ef59d715-7ea1-41c6-97f3-dd1bcc10d0c3&tab=librarydocuments

    Put name of your task in report field and click "Run"

    Best regards,
