I want to thank you for taking the effort to write such a wonderful script to assist many network administrators in documentation (which is last thing we want to do). Keep it up and never let this project die off! Cheers! I don’t normally comment in any blogs but I think your script is worth commenting.

I predominatly support small business' and my client cant afford the luxurey of (nor do they need...) sophiticated documentation and change management. With these scripts, I can gather what I need or have one of my techs work the site, and have the knowledge to get it done right and effectivily. Any good suggestions for further learning articles related to techniques to manipulate the plethora of output? I usually copy and paste in Excel using VLOOKUPs and concatenation, but that has proved difficult with server counts over 4,000, and the need to report on various parts of the data in different ways.

But I might include one in future versions of SYDI-Server. Chee Currently I haven’t written a script which lets you do that. But I might include one in future versions of SYDI-Server.
