As with any managed services or infrastructure services projects, maintaining the server inventory is very crucial. The server-inventory-file provides a one-stop checklist, that you can refer while you are on priority 1 bridge calls.

With a traditional data center, it is easy to maintain server/infra inventory on an excel sheet. But it is not the same with the cloud because the infrastructure is so dynamic.

The only solution to this problem is Automation. I have written a PowerShell script just to do that.

Below is the link to the script:
