Clients that still have a server on-site are become rare these days – Most of our client base is either completely public cloud using AAD or they have hosted servers in our private cloud. For these clients I’ve made the following script to document their Active Directory server settings. I always I want to be in complete control of my clients environment. That means having up to date documentation at the ready.
Of course there are a stack of other reasons to document the Active Directory environment, think of disaster recovery/runbook scenarios, troubleshooting, possible mergers, or even simply getting a correct overview of the sites, servers, and roles. So, let’s get started! I’ll be posting 2 versions of the script. One for IT-Glue and another for generic use.
IT-Glue version
Warning: Currently my wordpress installation is still replacing < with the HTML equivalent. I’m looking into better code plugins but please check the HTML code parts if you are seeing strangle results.

this version of the script does the following:
- It creates a Flexible Asset configuration in IT-Glue called ” Active Directory – AutoDoc”
- It creates a Flexible Asset file in the supplied organisation($orgID).
- The flexible asset file will be filled with the domain name, the forest summary, the site summary, domain controller, fsmo roles, optional features, upn suffixes, default password policies, the domain admins, and a user account.
Special thanks in this blog go out to Przemyslaw Klys for his Get-WinADForestInformation function, and to Jon Czerwinski at Chon Consulting Corp for assisting in some layout and ordering.

And that’s it. If you want more local documentation without the IT-Glue component you should check out this blog too. as always, Happy PowerShelling.
Update: After some comments from Przemysław Kłys I’ve updated the scripts to be a little more efficient and mostly prettier 🙂
