Where to Get Copies of the Various Documentation Scripts
September 30, 2011
Active Directory, NetScaler, PowerShell, PVS, VMware, XenApp, XenApp 5 for Windows Server 2003, XenApp 5 for Windows Server 2008, XenApp 6 for Windows Server 2008 R2, XenApp 6.5 for Windows Server 2008 R2, XenDesktop
NOTE: All current scripts require PowerShell Version 3 or later.
All current documentation scripts create a Microsoft Word 2010, 2013, or 2016/2019/O365 document.
Word 2016, Word 2019 and the Office 365 version of Word have the same version number of 16. All documentation scripts will work with Word 2019 and Word Office 365 with no changes.
*****All the scripts run best on PowerShell Version 5*****
Many people have asked me where they can get copies of the various PowerShell documentation scripts. To make it easier to find, I have linked to all of them in this one article.
All scripts have been moved to the new Downloads page.
I am leaving this landing page here so I don’t break all the existing links people have to this page.
Thanks
Webster

I am getting an error at Invoke-RestMethod: Unable to connect to the remote server. Is there a port or permission that has to be opened for this script to work?
November 14, 2016 at 10:20 am
I asked Barry who owns this script and here is his reply:
[the script] “uses basic port 80 so allow non secure communication and open firewall in between script and netscaler”

Hi Carl,
I have just tried to run the NetScaler-script on a 11.1 VPX.
I get a lot of missing sections such as Interfaces, VLANS,etc.
Is this due to the 11.1 firmware?
Are there any plans of changing the scrip to support 11.1?
Regards
Jeppe
August 19, 2016 at 7:03 am
I have sent your query to Barry Schiffer who is the author of the NetScaler script. When I hear from him, I will let you know.
Thanks
Webster
August 18, 2016 at 9:20 pm
Is it possible to make the parameters and aliases consistent across all of the scripts? For example, I like to add the -ScriptInfo (-SI) parameter when running certain scripts but not all of them have this parameter defined. I mainly only run scripts related to Microsoft AD, DNS, DHCP, GPOs and anything VMware.
Also there is a need to check for typos in some scripts. For example – there is a type on the new DNS v1.0 script where is says “domain” instead of “domain”. Alike with the VMInventory script…there are references to “VCenter” when it should display as “vCenter”
Thank much in advance for your excellent work and dedication!
August 18, 2016 at 9:55 pm
I don’t control all the scripts. What current script does not have -ScriptInfo? I added it to all the current scripts a while back that I control or had permission to update.
I have fixed the DNS and VMware scripts with the spelling corrections you mentioned and found a few more.
The scripts I do not control are:
NetScaler
Nutanix
VMware
StoreFront
Thank you for bringing these issues to my attention.
Webster
August 19, 2016 at 6:59 am
Understood, thx Carl! Appreciate you taking time to respond and correct the typos I’ve noticed. Of the scripts that I use, I noticed the following do not have -ScriptInfo:
ADDS Inventory v1.2
VMware Inventory 1.6 (Understand if you cannot update this one as per your comment above)
August 19, 2016 at 7:02 am
Version 2.0 of the AD script has been in development for a while and it will have the -ScriptInfo and other parameters. That script will be released very soon.
Thanks
Webster
August 19, 2016 at 7:40 am
Excellent! It would be great if the -log parameter could be added to any scripts that you are allowed to manage/update and for it to output it to the same directory you specify for the reports and scriptinfo. Let me know if this is at all possible.
I checked the VMware script and noticed it still has uppercase “V” instead of lowercase “v” in the word “vCenter”. Possibly as you stated you don’t control this script so I have edited it on my end. Would be good for it to be in the proper branding format, but not a big deal. Looking forward to the new updates! Keep up the great work!
August 19, 2016 at 7:49 am
I am not seeing any VCenter in the code. All I see is vCenter. Just to be sure, I uploaded the files again just to make sure. Please check again.
Thanks
Webster
August 19, 2016 at 9:04 am
Looks good now Carl, thx!
August 19, 2016 at 10:52 am
Carl – something else I have noticed when running any of the scripts is that it never adds the company name even tho I specify it with the parameter. It is not hardcoded in the registry as I’d like to be able to manually specify it when running the script. Is this a bug? I use -CompanyName “SomeName” or -CN “SomeName” but it never adds it.
August 19, 2016 at 1:41 pm
Sideline is the default cover page because it is the only cover page that exists in Word 2007/2010/2013/2016 and in all languages of Word. But, in Word 2013 and 2016, Sideline does not show the company name. I usually use Whisp in Word 2013 and 2016. That shows the company name.

July 27, 2016 at 5:45 am
I have not run the script in a multi-domain forest. My first thought would be are you a domain admin in each child domain? If you are, then I need to test this and see what changes I need to make in the script.
Would you mind emailing me your forest layout so I can see how the domains are structured? Webster@carlwebster.com

June 30, 2016 at 6:36 am
You have to wait for me to find the time to update the script for 7.8 and 7.9. I do the scripts in my spare time and that has been in extreme short supply this yer.
Sorry
Webster
June 21, 2016 at 11:27 am
Any tips or suggestions on why the output file is empty although the script says it’s successful?
June 30, 2016 at 10:55 am
With some of the scripts output format TEXT and HTML doesn’t work. I think those switches in some of the scripts are just placeholders
For example XD7 documentation scripts works with TEST and HTML, but Netscaler doesn’t.
July 1, 2016 at 11:22 am
I didn’t write the NetScaler script. Not all the scripts support HTML or Text, yet. I only work on the scripts in my spare time and just haven’t found the time to update the rest of my scripts.

Hi Carl,
I was wondering is there was a way to extract only the installed and missing hotfixes and HRP’s from XA65_Inventory_V42.ps1. The Word report is great but the manager wants it quarterly and the admins prefer a monthly list of installed and missing updates.
Tnx,

Run the script with -Section Servers to get only the servers section which will include the hotfix info.

Hi Carl, great tool. Thanks.
Can you add a parameter for -MaxRecordFound ?
thanks.
October 3, 2015 at 5:33 pm
If you are not running the signed script, you can change the value yourself at line 23304:
#set value for MaxRecordCount
$Script:MaxRecordCount = [int]::MaxValue
Is the script returning too much data for you?
