Hello everyone. I'm trying to get activation status of Windows XP via slmgr.vbs, but I didn't found this file on a remote computer. Then I had copy slmgr from my PC (which is Windows 8) to the remote computer. Then I had type icm -computername remotepc -scriptblock {cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /dlv \\nologo} and got this:

Error: 0x80041010 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0x80041010' to display the error text.

What I need to do? The 2 things, which I want to get is - does this copy of Windows XP is activated and what type of license it's have. As I understood, slui is GUI tool, so it's not be used remotely via PowerShell.

PS: does forum structure has been changed? Cann't find out where is Scripting > Windows PowerShell.

The license manager and tools are not compatible with older obsolete systems.  You will not be able to use this.

Windows PowerShell forum is found here - https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=winserverpowershell  I simply went to TechNet forums and typed PowerShell into forums search.  It's the first thing found.

There was no such thing as a license management in Windows XP.  That capability was introduced in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista.  As jrv says, you can't use the slui tool with XP because slui has no knowledge of Windows XP.

XP license activation is not exposed or documented but you can use this to check:
