TAKE PROLIFIC NOTES! Do it as you go. Then, when you have whatever you were working on the way you want it, go back and clean your notes up, and make them a part of your 3,2,1 back up policy. Make a road map of how you want everything to operate. That way, as you add to your server/network, all the pieces will be much tidier and easier to troubleshoot.
haha, this goes along with my husband's comments when I asked him this question too. He said that nobody does documentation the first time.
Most likely reasons people don't document right out of the gate is excitement of the moment, and I've got this tutorial I found....why would I need to document? However, I've found that writing it down in your own words seems to make it stick more for me. The way I have my notes, I could format the entire drive, and using notes alone, have the server back up and running full production in a solid day's effort. Don't be lulled into the notion that you'll be able to remember everything 6 months down the road. That's the devil talking Bobby Boucher.
