Network Documentation Template

PiotrIr

Could you help me to find good network documentation template please?
I try to prepare full documentation of network for company which has no documents and standards at all. I found some templates in web but they are not very good.

So maybe somebody with experience with this kind of work – which I don’t like but understand importance, can point me to something useful? Unfortunately documentation has to be as deep as possible.

Many thanks

I second this. I am beginning documentation of a 600 seat network with multiple remote locations to satisfy PCI requirements and am looking for a clear and concise documentation methodology. I want to have a fairly clear idea of how I'm going to do all of this before I begin.

Will this help?

Network Documentation Made Easy with SYDI

I've used it for documenting our production servers.

Hi arwes,

Thanks for your reply
I’m looking for documentation template and methodology, not only for inventorying software.

Kind Regards

Take the time to actually look at what arwes suggested for you. That does not only do inventory. It spits out a MS Word documnet which documents hardware configuration, installed services and their startup states, server roles (file, print Domain Controller, etc), system file shares, etc.

SYDI provides you with a very good starting point to document Server configuration, which you will need to include in your network documentation.
