    Hello, @Jayesh Sawant !

    How do I find all of my VM's with an OS version of Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 along with their license policy?

    Using Azure CLI, I first got a list of all Windows Server SKUs:

    az vm image list --offer WindowsServer --all --query "[].sku"

    Then I created this (admittedly somewhat clunky) query:

    az vm list --query "[?storageProfile.imageReference.sku=='2012-Datacenter' || storageProfile.imageReference.sku=='2012-datacenter-gensecond' || storageProfile.imageReference.sku=='2012-Datacenter-smalldisk' || storageProfile.imageReference.sku=='2012-datacenter-smalldisk-g2' || storageProfile.imageReference.sku=='2012-Datacenter-zhcn' || storageProfile.imageReference.sku=='2012-datacenter-zhcn-g2' || storageProfile.imageReference.sku=='2012-R2-Datacenter' || storageProfile.imageReference.sku=='2012-r2-datacenter-gensecond' || storageProfile.imageReference.sku=='2012-R2-Datacenter-smalldisk' || storageProfile.imageReference.sku=='2012-r2-datacenter-smalldisk-g2' || storageProfile.imageReference.sku=='2012-R2-Datacenter-zhcn' || storageProfile.imageReference.sku=='2012-r2-datacenter-zhcn-g2'].{VMName:name,Offer:storageProfile.imageReference.offer,SKU:storageProfile.imageReference.sku, LicensePolicy:licenseType}" --output table

    I tested this with a 2012-datacenter-gensecond and some 2019-Datacenter in a slightly modified query and it should give you everything you are looking for:
