How to determine how many Authentication Services licenses are available -
Description
Determining number of available QAS licenses
-
Resolution
RESOLUTION 1:
In Windows using powershell you can determine how many machines are still active.
This first command will tell you how many machines were joined to Active Directory that include QAS in the operatingsystemversion.
[PS] Get-ADComputer -Filter {OperatingSystemVersion -Like "*qas*"} -Properties * | measure
This second command will create a list of those same machines including the last time they reset their computer object password. By default the password is set every 30 days. This list should help clean up orphaned computer objects to obtain a more accurate count of machines.
[PS] Get-ADComputer -Filter {OperatingSystemVersion -Like "*qas*"} -Properties * | Sort passwordLastSet | FT Name, passwordLastSet -Autosize | Out-File C:\Temp\PasswordLastSet.txtRESOLUTION 2:
From the command line on any system with QAS installed run the following as root:
#/opt/quest/bin/vastool -u host/ search "(&(objectCategory=computer)(operatingsystemversion=*qas*))" operatingsystem |grep operating |wc -l
The output will be the number of systems in the domain joined by QAS. Compare the output against your license.
