+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    Comprehensive Windows Server/VM lifecycle audit script that collects:
+    - OS, hostname, and domain role details
+    - AD FSMO roles (if Domain Controller)
+    - CPU, memory, and disk layout metrics
+    - Physical disk controllers
+    - Installed server roles
+    - SQL Server instances
+    - Filtered software inventory (excludes updates/hotfixes/runtimes)
+    - Running services (non-Microsoft, auto-start)
+    - File shares and shared printers
+    - Network configuration and DNS settings
+    - DHCP scopes (if DHCP server installed)
+    - RDS licensing configuration
+    - Scheduled tasks (non-Microsoft)
+    - Hyper-V virtual machines (if installed)

+.PARAMETER RMMScriptPath
+    Custom log directory when executed from an RMM platform.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    .\Invoke-ServerLifecycleAudit.ps1
+    Run interactively — prompts for ticket # / initials.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    # Via NinjaOne with RMM variables set:
+    #   $RMM = 1
+    #   $Description = "TICKET-1234 NS"
