THis will simplify my documentation. Q: I can't seem to get credentials to work since not all servers are in the domain. EX: cscript sydi-server.vbs -h -u [user] -p [pass] does not work. Q: Is it possible to get NIC Teaming info on the report as well? Thank you, First off, GREAT Product… THis will simplify my documentation.

Just being able to import the data into a database and write customized reports from there would be super useful. Thanks for an awesome product!

However you use XML files, take a look at the ss-xml2word.vbs script. Joeg – Your suggestion with .ini files is already possible.

Patrick you have made my life as a SysAdmin MUCH easier with the SYDI tools. With SYDI I can create documentation in 15 minutes that would have taken 15 hours without it. As far as SYDI-AD, I think that would be wonderful! As far as suggestions, I would like to see a script that can be used to fill in the server specific information in the resulting Word files using an .INI file or some such (Machine owner, location and such).
