Ethan,
Maybe this is something for you:
http://visiotoolbox.com/en-US/downloads.aspx?resourceid=2&aid=67
It should allow you to connect visio 2007 to your scom or sccm environment to automatically draw diagrams with information straight from SCOM or SCCM
I heard it is great but never tested it out myself.
Best wishes,
Mike

Ethan,
This can be a bit involved in Powershell. We demonstrate a server inventory report for Dell Servers in the following post in a series on exploring discovered inventory with Powershell. Some notes on what you'd have to do for VM guests running Windows is below.
You can simply replace the following string in the example
"where {$_.Name -like 'Dell.*' }"
where {$_.Name -match 'Microsoft.Windows.Server.2003.OperatingSystem' }"
and view the output of this, where you will find several properties populated, but some items, such as processor and disk details not in this class. To retrieve a full server inventory, you would have to retrieve the properties of the object classes of interest hosted by the Windows OS. More simply replace the class name to create a separate inventory for given servers for items such as logical disk.

I've been investigating different methods to help automate the documentation of our file servers. Since most of our physical are Dells, I've been using their OMReport tool (works on Linux too) but this doesn't do much for our Virtual servers. I've looked at SYDI as well but it's a bit limiting in regards to the output (management wants the output to look a certain way).
With the expectation that MS will soon release a client for Linux servers, is anyone out there using Opsmanager 2007 (reporting or powershell) to document servers? I'm looking for pretty simple stuff like number of CPU's, Hard drive documentation, memory – real basic stuff.
Thanks
