Ecora.com offers some solutions related to this that may help, but they come at a cost obviously.

Microsoft regularly evaluates its product offerings to ensure that customer needs are being met, and in this case determined that the resources would be better invested in other ways to serve the network documentation and network management needs of customers. Some of the functionality in Visio Enterprise Network Tools will be included in either future versions of Visio or an upcoming, still unannounced network management product. Visit the Visio Frequently Asked Questions page for more information. I was planning on upgrading my copy of Visio Pro 2000 to 2002 take advantage of these features when I ran up against this yesterday. >I believe some of these features were also available in the Enterprise edition of Visio 2000. I managed to get a copy of 2000 Ent from our Select CD's today and try it and it did an import from the production AD rather painlessly. I have heard conflicting information about the abilities of 2002 Pro to do directory imports and am left wondering if the functionality still exists but I don't have a copy in hand to try yet. The way I read the product info from the link Tony posted leads me to believe that functionality in Visio 2002 is only available in the discontinued ENT - Section II. Importing from a Live Directory (Visio Enterprise Network Tools only) Section III. Exporting to LDIF (Visio Enterprise Network Tools only) ./very confused -----Original Message----- From: Tony Murray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 11:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] AD Visio Mapping Tool There are some features available in Visio Professional 2002 to do this.

This would be great for AD. ------- Gene Molloy VNU Enterprise Network Operations Manager VNU, Inc.
