Documenting one computer at a time.

It was brought up in the SmallBizIT yahoo group about the need to document a single computer at a time. For example, you are brought into a new client and you are wanting to document their network. You do not want to install Level Platforms or other monitoring software. What you want to do is sit down at each computer, plug in your USB Drive. double click on a program and have it pull all the necessary information that you can later take back and put into your overall documentation. Another requirement is that there should be nothing to install.

I had already created a tool that you could run from the server that would use Active Directory to get a list of the computers and then would poll each computer for their data. I modified this script so that it would only do the computer that it was running on. I also threw in a routine that would pull the Windows Product Key from the registry.

You can download the program, I call it Professional Documentation (ProDoc for short), here: http://www.computerrenditions.com/prodoc.zip
