Network Documentation

Have you ever changed the Administrator password on your network and discovered that your backup system ceased to function? How about changing the SA password on your SQL server only to discover that it broke your antivirus software?

Complications like these can leave your network unprotected for days or even weeks until the problem is detected. Proper network documentation is not only useful for reconstructing your server or network after a disaster, but is also a tool to reduce costly down time and trouble shooting. A 25 user network can easily cost your company $500 per hour in lost productivity when it is malfunctioning. This does not even take into consideration the costs associated with correcting the problem.

Unified System, Inc. can come in and document your network’s key systems, servers, and structure which provides a tool to prevent inadvertent damage to your network when performing necessary maintenance to your systems. As part of our on-going service, our engineers will document system changes in the soft copy at our office and provide a hard copy of the changed pages for your on-site documentation. At your request, we can also document changes made by your staff or other vendors.

What the documentation includes:

  • System administrative accounts, what systems they affect, and where changes need to be made when changing their passwords.
  • Network addressing scheme and structure
  • Server configurations, firmware level, software version and patches
  • Printer configurations
  • Firewall configurations, firmware / software version
  • Mail system structure and configuration
  • Typical workstation configuration
  • A network diagram
  • Directory service (such as Active Directory or eDirectory) structure and replication.
  • 1 printed copy of the network documentation
