How do you document a network?

by scmgithd . Updated 17 years, 8 months ago

I started here just over 2 years ago and the network has never been documented (four locations, all connected). I’ve been meaning to do it…I have hand drawn pictures of how things are actually connected (hubs, routers, etc). I also have a computer inventory that lists serial number, location, etc. For the HIPAA security rule, I understand that I also need to document what access each PC has (we only have one server with a few users, most are Win98 machines). How do you incorporate all of this information into something usable?

I’m overwhelmed with all of the information sitting in front of me and not sure how to best lay it out (short of a sharpie and the blank wall in front of my desk).

Any advice or examples would be wonderful! Thanks!
