Documenting a Portal Server Install

As a consultant I have installed iPS and the client, rightly, wants the

configuration settings documented. The client thinks that the only way

to do this would be to take screen shots of the screens in the console.

This is too much of a kludge for me. Is there a way extract the settings

in a human readable format to include with the "as built" documentation?

Yeah,type 'script' before you install the server and it will logg everything displayed on the screen to a fileWesKent Perrier wrote:As a consultant I have installed iPS and the client, rightly, wants theconfiguration settings documented.

I know of two.

1) Use ipsadmin export to an xml file. This has been problematic because

you can't get "everything" in one xml.

2) Use an LDAP Browser (http://www.iit.edu/~gawojar/ldap/) and connect to

the iPortal ldap. Then, simply export the LDAP system to an LDIF file. You

can use this reinstate the system to a known state.

Any more options?
