MAP Toolkit: What data does 'Usage Tracking' report?
IMPORTANT: Keep checking the MAP Blog and MAP Toolkit Content Index (en-US) for updates and changes , especially after new versions of MAP are released.
(This information is subject to change in future versions of MAP Toolkit.)
The Usage Tracking feature provides support for reporting the usage of the following Microsoft server products:
- Microsoft Windows Server (versions 2000 through 2012)
- Microsoft Exchange Server (versions 2003 through 2013)
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (versions 2003 through 2013)
- System Center Configuration Manager (versions 2007 through 2012)
- Systems Management Server (versions 2003 and 2003 R2)
- Microsoft SQL Server (select editions, versions 2000 through 2012)
- Lync Server (2010 through 2013)
- Windows Client Volume License (Windows Vista SP1 through Windows 8)
- Remote Desktop Services (for Windows Server 2008 R2 and later)
- Terminal Services (for Windows Server 2008)
When inventorying an environment and discovering installed servers, MAP Toolkit always reports the version of server product installed and the edition of the product (if applicable). MAP Toolkit reports slightly different sets of usage information depending on the capabilities of that server product. Here’s a list of what’s covered for each product:
| Product | User Count | Device Count | Edition Usage[1] |
| Windows Server | Yes | Yes | N/A |
| Exchange Server | Yes | No[2] | Standard, Enterprise |
| SharePoint Server | Yes | Yes | Standard, Enterprise |
| System Center Configuration Manager | No | Yes | N/A |
| Systems Management Server | No | Yes | N/A |
| Lync Server | Yes | Yes | Standard, Enterprise, Plus |
| Windows Volume License | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| SQL Server | Yes | Yes | N/A |
| Remote Desktop Licensing | Yes[3] | Yes | N/A |
[1] Edition usage refers to reporting Standard vs. Enterprise feature usage. For example, using the ActiveSync feature of Exchange is an Enterprise feature, using a standard mailbox in Exchange is a Standard feature.
[2] MAP counts the number of deployed user mailboxes, but cannot track usage of the mailboxes. Therefore, device counts are not provided for Exchange, and user counts represent deployed mailboxes, not actual usage of the mailboxes.
[3] The user count is only available for Windows Server 2012 or later. For more details, see this blog article.
