For us poor peeps at the bottom end of the scale, is there any way of achieving a similar result using scripts etc ? Sort of like a roll-your-own server documenting kit ?
I did hear tell of a public (kinda opensource) project to create a wedge of scripts and various tools that could be used together to create a documentation kit (think it was refered to as a cookbook) which would do enough. Anyone else here of this? Anyone else know of some scripts that skint, cash strapped IT monkeys like me could use to do something similar ?

What feature documents the host that erdisk also does for 2000 platform? You're not referring to ASR are you? ________________________________ From: Myrick, Todd (NIH/CIT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 7:01 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] documenting servers I think this is a new feature of Windows XP, and Windows 2003 server backup and recovery operations. Chris Wolf's new book on Troubleshooting Microsoft Technologies covers this topic pretty completely. For Windows 2000 and earlier you would do well to look at Aelita's ERDISK product, and INTRUST for backup up remote registries, and documenting your environment. Also ERDISK for AD is a must for AD DR. For bare metal restore operations, Veritas and ComValt offer Intelligent DR add-ons for Windows 2000 and NT4 DR. I link to Chris's book is on my blog.

(interested primarily in this for my AD and back-end services servers, but others as well). Thanks!
