Greetings, I have often heard of Admin's using webpages, weblogs or the like to maintain documentation. As long as the item used is secure and restricted access then anything that fits the company model will work wonderfully. The beauty of some of these technologies is that they are searchable, indexable and very flexiable. You really could use anything you wanted, that fit your needs. Sorry for being evasive, but the solution to this is as adaptable as you are.

In the past I have kept paper journals about everything that has been done to a specific machine; date setup, software installed, passwords for iLO etc., OS patches installed, app patches installed, configuration changes. If nothing else, it's been tedious and as a result, often incomplete. It is very easy to "tweak and run". Later, while trying to remember why you, (or worse, was it you or someone else) made the change, you vow again to document better. Is anyone aware of "Administrator's Journal" software? I would love to be able to document on a much better scale the who, what, where, when and how of install/changes, including the ability to add attachments like the pdf of how to install the application change or a link to a web page that documents what was done.
