Hello,
I have just released SYDI-Server 2.0, which is part of the Open Source SYDI Project. The goal of SYDI is to help people document their networks or servers; a secondary goal is to do an inventory.
SYDI-Server is written in vbscript, it uses WMI to collect information from Windows Servers and Clients and writes information to XML or Microsoft Word.
You can download SYDI-Server 2.0 from the SYDI website:
http://sydi.sourceforge.net
The most exiting update for this release is the script ss-xml2word.vbs. It enables you to;
1. Convert a SYDI-Server XML file to word: Useful in situations where you don?t have Word installed. On a DMZ or running a scheduled task from a server.
2. Keep your documentation updated: In combination with the XML file from SYDI-Server you can create an own file where you have the written documentation for the target system. The two files are combined to a final Word report.
I have also added support for IIS, on target computers running Windows Server 2003. In this version the script only collects the most basic settings; more will come in later versions.
I have gotten a lot of positive feedback from users of the project in the past and I believe it would be useful for your readers to know about it.
Best regards
