What good is an unloaded gun? Might as well not have one or just get a baseball bat, it is a lot better tool for hitting someone than an unloaded gun.

For everyone that thinks no one is going to read the documentation so why bother. Please keep that attitude! I want your jobs. Several of my bigger clients came from them firing the idiots that were their then network administers because of lack of transparency in passwords and configuration information for the IT infrastructure.

Owners of businesses like to know that they can access their own infrastructure or get someone new to access it if the old IT guy gets run over in the street.

My computer company's standard policy is to compile a network diagram, list of all computers, servers, routers, network printers, time clocks, etc... with all user names and passwords as well as ipaddresses and ports needed to access admin and user configuration utilitys.

I have never lost a job or client by doing this. I have taken clients away from other computer companys and system admins by doing this.
