Cross-Post: Lync Environment Documentation Script

This post is just to get the word out a bit wider about a script that my colleague, Chris Cook, has developed. 

Basically this script will gather complete information about a Lync environment (server specs, topology, networking, DNS, certificates, etc) and then auto-generate a Word report and Visio diagram.

Please go HERE and read additional information and download instructions.
