Q. How do I enable CAL tracking with the Asset Intelligence feature of System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007 R2?

A. When you enable Asset Intelligence, you select the reporting classes you want enabled. However, this change on its own doesn't actually enable the collection of CAL information.

 To enable CAL information collection, make the following change (in addition to the SCCM console configuration shown above).

Here's the file before the change:

instance of CCM_CALTrackConfig
 \{
 CALCollectionType = 0; //0-Disabled, 1-User CAL, 2-Device CAL, 3-All
 CALCollectionFrequencyDays = 7;
 CALCollectionFrequencyMinutes = 60;
 CALCollectionTimeWindow = 90;
 CALCollectionSupportedWindowsVersions = "5.0,5.2,6.0";

 \};

Here it is after:

instance of CCM_CALTrackConfig
 \{
 CALCollectionType = 3; //0-Disabled, 1-User CAL, 2-Device CAL, 3-All
 CALCollectionFrequencyDays = 7;
 CALCollectionFrequencyMinutes = 60;
 CALCollectionTimeWindow = 90;
 CALCollectionSupportedWindowsVersions = "5.0,5.2,6.0,6.1";

 \};

You'll notice the default collection is every seven days. You can change the CALCollectionFrequencyDays value to a more frequent collection, such as one day for lab environments, but be careful in production environments because the CAL tracking uses resources and generate large amounts of data. Seven days is a good balance for production.
