Thanks for the great product. Having trouble getting it to run remotely for a local server. I'm running the script with -t -u -p (with administrator access) and I'm getting: Start subroutine: GatherWMIInformation(server) -2147024891 -- Access is denied. (server) Firewalls on the server are off. Login credentials are correct. Any ideas? Hi! Thanks for the great product.

I have a ton of little utilities that I feel could be used by Sydi, such as password recovery. One thing I really would like Cydi to do is to grab: Windows users & Passwords Outlook and e-mail info & passwords Network Passwords I feel that this would really put Cydi Documentation above and beyond the rest, even though it already is!!!

I have all the xml files stored on a webserver and broken down by domain and application so my whole team can check details really quickly. A couple of things for the wish list would be "Storage" information to be included in the XLS Overview and "Product Keys" from W2008. Thanks again. SteveW Hi Patrick,

I use the output from SYDI to populate our WIKI. Setting SYDI to output as XML and then apply an XSLT to make it WIKI test. Works like a dream! I have been able to categorise my servers into Virtual, Physical, OS, Manufacture etc etc. Thanks again for a excellent tool. Great tool. I use the output from SYDI to populate our WIKI.

Having put together a list of servers in my org, I used the script to query the server and it returned all the info I need, including a storage section listing all drives and their space usage. This last information is what I need most for a backup project. Sadly though, when converted to excel from xml, the storage information is missing in the overview excel document. Any help on how to get the drives and other storage related info into the excel overview will be greatly appreciated. CT Hello,
