+.SYNOPSIS
+    Audits an existing Hyper-V host for server lifecycle quote validation.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    Gathers comprehensive Hyper-V host information during VM migration scenarios.
+    Designed to run on the EXISTING host when migrating VMs to a new host.
+
+    Collects:
+    - Host OS, hardware, CPU, and memory details
+    - Disk layout and storage controller inventory
+    - VM inventory with memory and processor allocation
+    - VHDX paths, sizes, and types
+    - VM checkpoints (snapshots)
+    - Virtual switch configuration
+    - Physical network adapters and VMQ status
+
+    Output is logged via Start-Transcript for QA evidence retention.
+
+    Reference: Server Lifecycle - Quote Validation Audit SOP (BookStack Page 1787)
+
+.PARAMETER LogPath
+    Directory for the transcript log file.
+    Default: $env:SystemRoot\Logs\HyperVAudit
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    .\Invoke-HyperVHostAudit.ps1
+    Run a full host audit with default log path.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    .\Invoke-HyperVHostAudit.ps1 -LogPath "C:\AuditLogs"
+    Run audit with a custom log output directory.
+
+.NOTES
+    Version:        1.1.0
+    Author:         AlrightLad
+    Requirements:   PowerShell 5.1+, Administrator rights, Hyper-V role installed
