  • The servers running some version of SharePoint.
  • The installed SharePoint features.
  • The total number of SharePoint sites on each server.
  • The total number of documents on each server.
  • The total number of documents grouped by extension on each server.

  • The customized SharePoint sites and items on each server.
  • The number of SharePoint lists on each server, grouped by the number of items on each list.
