+### Inventory Configuration
+
+This project uses the ToalLab standard inventory located at `/home/ptoal/Dev/inventories/toallab-inventory`.
+
+**Inventory Groups:**
+- `hyperv` - Hyper-V hosts (hyperv1.lan.toal.ca)
+- `windows_servers` - All Windows Server VMs
+  - `web_servers` - IIS/web servers
+  - `app_servers` - Application servers
+  - `db_servers` - Database servers
+
+**Group Variables:**
+- `/home/ptoal/Dev/inventories/toallab-inventory/group_vars/hyperv/vars.yml` - Hyper-V defaults
+- `/home/ptoal/Dev/inventories/toallab-inventory/group_vars/windows_servers/vars.yml` - Windows defaults
+
+**Host Variables:**
+- `/home/ptoal/Dev/inventories/toallab-inventory/host_vars/hyperv1.lan.toal.ca/vars.yml` - Hypervisor config
+
 ### Variable Precedence
 
 Follow this hierarchy (least to most specific):
-1. `group_vars/all.yml` - Global defaults
+1. `group_vars/all.yml` - Global defaults (in toallab-inventory)
-2. `group_vars/<group>.yml` - Group-specific
+2. `group_vars/<group>.yml` - Group-specific (in toallab-inventory)
-3. `host_vars/<host>.yml` - Host-specific
+3. `host_vars/<host>.yml` - Host-specific (in toallab-inventory)
 4. Playbook `vars:` - Playbook overrides
 5. Extra vars (`-e`) - Runtime overrides
