RE: Documenting a Windows domain -- Many thanks to this list

If you have been a member of the list for 10 years then you should know
what an enormous pain in the hind-quarters Don is. If you don't, you
should ask Shook. Don gives him pain in his nether-regions regularly.

Don,

I certainly did not want to give that impression. I shared my own
solutions
in case someone else needs them.

I have been a member of this list for about 10 years, though I am mostly
invisible. I could not have survived without this list when I started
out in
IT field. All you gurus have bailed me out many a times. So once again
thanks to all of you and to Sunbelt.

You don't have to "install" Visio in the domain...  Just has to be on the PC
that is running the ADTD...

RE: Documenting a Windows domain

2008-01-24 Thread Ken Schaefer 
Actually the AD mapper tool mentioned before is quite good. You don't need to 
install Visio on a machine in the domain. Just a machine that you control - you 
can authenticate/provide credentials to connect to the domain.

Cheers

Subject: Documenting a Windows domain -- a subjecting propostion?

I have been told to document a Windows 2003 domain -- without
instructions on what to include.

I am thinking of listing all DCs, sites, connectors,
servers-and-their-applications, user and group names, group membership
and GPOs.

Any suggestions on what else I should include and if there is a tool to
do this? Thanks.

admap will get you a good start. Ooops...that's the 'old' name :-)

ADTD will get you a good startit has selectable levels of detail,
which you choose really depends on the complexity of your environment
and the intended audience. Once you have the topology mapped, you can
add other stuff to your heart's content.

It's a free D/L from MS now but it does require VISIO.

There is an AD Topology Diagram tool that will give you a quick and dirty
Visio...
