Re: [Blind-sysadmins] diagramming software

Hello:

My name is Mitch. I work for a company called outlook Nebraska Inc. in Omaha Nebraska. I am totally blind and I run the IT department. LOL, right now it is a department of one. Next week I am hiring another gentleman who is also blind. I do believe that that will make this company One of if not the first company in the country to have an entirely blind IT staff. I could be wrong about that but I would be interested to hear what other people have seen or observed.

As far as diagrams go I also use XL to do my network diagrams as well. I have seen others use Microsoft Word and do it in an outline format.

It's possible to create tables using the wiki's markup syntax. Relationships between objects are handled by linking between Wiki pages. Since it's a wiki, change tracking is built in. Also there are no issues with multiple versions of spreadsheets all floating around. Authentication and authorization are controled by AD group memberships. Some diagrams are created in Microsoft Visio based on the content in the Wiki.

I am using simple excel spreadsheet to document everything, statics, subnets, accounts, subscriptions, configurations, VPNs... Every subnet has its own spreadsheet and I do it this way. pushing for real diagrams, and I am still working on it. I feel like network changes always so fast changing that I would need full time job to make diagrams only to keep everything up to date.

Hello,

I am a new list member and this is my first post. I am a college

student majoring in IT. One of the classes I am taking requires the use of diagramming software for network diagrams, etc. The instructor recommended Microsoft Visio. I realize that making and reading network diagrams is next to impossible, but I am curious to know what people have done as alternatives for documentation purposes.

Thanks, Mike
