I would like to have an easy way to get a list of InfoPath forms on SharePoint servers. I know that there is a way to do this with ShareGate’s tool. However, I found a blog posting that described a PowerShell solution: http://sharepointchips.com/2016/05/find-infopath-form-libraries-lists-sharepoint/
I ran the PowerShell script in Windows PowerShell ISE on my SharePoint server as an Administrator. I added the following line at the top of the script:
Add-PSSnapin
Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell
This command loads the SharePoint Windows PowerShell snap-in.
I ran the script and entered the location of the SharePoint site that I wanted to scan: http://server2012sp/sites/testsites
The script scanned the site and provided the following details in the Console Pane:

Report Generated at same path of the powershell script InfoPathLibs.csv
The PowerShell script also saved details to a CSV file. I opened the CSV file in Excel to view the saved details. You can see the details below. You may need to use the scroll bar to see all of the content to the right. Note that empty entries in the Form Template column refer to a custom list. Saved Form Template values are document libraries.

Now I can see which lists have InfoPath forms! However, I know that some of these lists are using a Nintex form by default. The InfoPath form was not removed when the switch to using an InfoPath form was made.
I’m curious if ShareGate can provide a better report. Perhaps it can tell me which form is being used by default in the list?
Aug. 24, 2018: Unfortunately, ShareGate does not have the capability to report on InfoPath forms. However, we can vote to add InfoPath filters in ShareGate reporting. Click here to vote.
