If you are documenting a network that taken care of, then you probably know more about the network than others. Although the information that needs to be documented does not exist in your mind, you certainly know how to look for it.
However, if you are required to document another network, either as a new supervisor or a consultant, you can not rely on your own knowledge. To gather the necessary details, you have to ask all administrators.
Obtaining the necessary information from the administrator may not be easy. For one thing, political factors can hinder your efforts. Maybe the administrators get annoyed with you, see you as an "outsider". Maybe the administrators feel threatened by the making of such documentation or felt it was not necessary. In this case, you need all the skills as diplomats to obtain the necessary information. You have to find a way to overcome these obstacles. Maybe you will be able to make the administrators to see that they are an important part of the manufacturing documentation.
While the administrators want to participate, you may have difficulty communicating with them. Often people will ignore things they can see clearly, but not for others. Or they are very capable of doing their job, but are less able to describe to others. You must be patient and persistent in talking with other administrators, approach from a different direction to get the necessary information. And you may still have to do their own investigation.
If you are accepted as a senior network administrator, and the administrator had not left any information (there are no other employees who know) you have to find the necessary information from the network itself. Follow the cables, see the server configuration and configuration router / switch, and so on
