Each search is run only on the specific server selected. For convenience, you can write a macro to automate the Excel steps in the report. By opening the search text files from multiple servers in Excel and running the macro, you can generate a combined report for a group of servers. The table that follows lists some sample searches and the types of report that would be generated.
