Just to let you know the Sourceforge site for the Windows Server Documentation Project has been approved. Mail me off list and I will set everyone up on it.
Look forward to hearing from ya :) -----Original Message----- From: Oliver Marshall Sent: 23 October 2003 09:09 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] documenting servers Almost an identical situation here. I would also like to know that, as I am the only one of me here, I could have some documentation that would help contractors get up to speed on the network. Some day I want a holiday, with my mobile phone, or my net connection, and then we need to get a contractor, and the firm CERTAINLY wont pay for him to start a few weeks before I leave to get up to speed!!! I have registered the "Windows Server Documentation Project" with Sourceforge, and I will hear if they will set it up in the next few days. If those of you are interested want to mail me (each other) off list, then perhaps we will be able to see what happens (???) Look forward to hearing from you.

The more servers we get, the more I need a way to quickly tell how much disk, how much RAM, what patch levels, what apps are running, IIS or not, what services running under what credentials, blah blah blah Is others have said, there are many ways to get at the information, but it would be nice to kick off a script and have it return what I want whenever. Management seems to think having a binder with server documentation in it as each new box gets built is sufficient. I contend it changes too often and would like something more dynamic. Maybe a scheduled polling event that writes to a database would be best. I've already started, thanks to Robbie's cookbook and Matthew Lavy's WMI Scripting, and would be happy to participate in a more global project... <mc> List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
