          For existing systems, check out SYDI

          I think I've used SYDI before, sounds very familiar....

            Agree. They need to learn, sure, but not on what's driving your business 😉

              They can't legally learn on what's driving the business in the US.

                      So I have used SYDI before (after rerunning it it all came back as "OH YEAH!")

                      And this is a rather great tool for basic system documentation, but not really so great for Disaster recovery kinds of documentation. But I could certainly use this to generate documentation on the systems in the business as a starting point, or reference system.

                          I'll abstract some info from a system I'm scanning, give me 15.

                              There's obviously a lot more, but yeah... 75 pages is a lot to go through.

                                and the report is filled with useful information? Like correct product keys for example? All NICs and IP addresses listed per host, not just the first one?

                                    Here is the Word document Navigation view of what the software generates.

                                    Assuming this system nothing was excluded it seems pretty inclusive.

                                      That's quite exhaustive, will take a look

                                        In that range, another system I just ran again was 68 pages.

                                            It doesn't have to be that many pages, you can filter out what you want, don't want.
