Want to generate everything except the indexes........... Am planning to modify the code at some point introducing a parameter to prevent the indexes being built, however it's no big issue at the moment as we don't use the standard Orca index.

Your welcome to our script if you want it, I'm afraid it's nothing flash and is simply a pattern match based on machine name, hence probably pretty useless to you..... No flash HTML or anything, just links to various groups of machines........
