    Hi recently I’ve taken on a new client who has a W2K3 – W2K AD network…

    The current infrastructure is a real mess! and there is no info on how the servers etc are configured.

    Any suggestions on analysis tools to check and compile a full report of the network servers/computers that will highlight critical issues?
    I’ve already started with Microsoft’s best practices analysers, but I’m guessing that a complete scan of everything IT would reveal some urgent issues…

    Just wondering what others might use when taking on a medium sized client..

    Cheers
    Ernie
