Title: RE: [ActiveDir] documenting servers

There is also a utility in the 2000 resource kit: srvinfo  which tells you a lot of that information. (Disk usage, patches, CPU)

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] documenting servers

I have multiple goals for my server docs, although DR is definitely the most important to me.

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...
