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.
You are mean

You need to work on your beatings, technique must be off

Mwaha... One of my colleagues just said this today: "You are an expert at punishing people"

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.

For existing systems, check out SYDI
Anyone got screenshots of SYDI? What does it actually look like?

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

Scotty, you'll get 5 or we're toast

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

@DustinB3403 said in IT Documentation Helpers:
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?
-
75 pages per host?
-
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

@scottalanmiller said in IT Documentation Helpers:
75 pages per host?
In that range, another system I just ran again was 68 pages.
-
Here is some documentation from the SYDI developer.
-
It doesn't have to be that many pages, you can filter out what you want, don't want.

@Jstear said in IT Documentation Helpers:
Thanks for that, I know it can be shortened.
(not trying to say it couldn't be etc)
-
@DustinB3403 I meant to reply to SAM, as I don't think he liked the fact it was 75 pages.

@DustinB3403 I use a Drupal blog. Simple and easy to manage.
I've used Drupal for this, production sites, and a ton of other stuff. It's an awesome framework.
I've also used LaTeX for documentation. Formatting is really easy with it.
