At this point I will take something 3rd party, and it doesnt' even have to do visio format. I need something I can have on my laptop, go to the next company to be acquired, diagram their network, ad, etc and then bring back to have printed on the plotter. -Original Message- From: Rich

Admapper allows you to map the physical constructs of AD. The OU stuff is what Viso is good at, and I bet you can get a copy of the AD networking constructs for visio some place. Todd -Original Message- From: Steck, Herb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 2:06

Understood. For discovery, that's why I recommended something like Ecora. Usually during discovery, you have a lot more information that's required other than topology and OU structure. Not everyone has that requirement I suppose... al -Original Message- From: Rich Milburn

[ActiveDir] ADMap 1.6.2

2003-12-03 Thread Jef Kazimer
Actually I just used the ADmap 1.6.2 utility last night. I believe it came out of MS consulting services from Germany. (it says so in the about) It reads your Sites structure and builds it into a rather unwieldly VISIO map. You will need a Plotter to print it out, and it's not perfect. Not

Hi guys, Joe - thanks for the P-Synch plug. :-) There are good reasons for our password filter DLL to connect into a central server, or cluster of servers: * It makes it possible to enforce infinite password history (which we do). * It makes it easy for an administrator to control policy
