I'm of the opinion that Ryan and I have written a very good book on LDAP
programming in .NET. You can find more info here, including free code
samples and a free sample chapter in PDF, at www.directoryprogramming.net.
Ryan wrote a bunch of pretty useful stuff for expanding group membership in
ch 11 and has followed up with a few additions on his blog showing other
techniques.
I can't help with the Visio stuff, but if you can find some samples that
show how to plug data into the model to produce diagrams, it shouldn't be
too hard to put it all together.
Best of luck,
Joe K.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Mapping Groups within AD
Does anyone know a good location to find visual studio coders that have
worked with both AD and Visio.
I found some resources at Microsoft
Generating Active Directory Diagrams with Visio 2003 and Visual Studio
.NET 2003
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa662190(office.11).aspx
The problem being they show you how to search for users in a certain OU
that match a job title and department. Doesn't quite get what I want.
I need to create a nice Visio drawing that show the respective groups
and groups that group is a member of and any groups that are a member of
that group. I would really hate to do the 400 or so groups by hand
specially when it needs updated down the road because of changes.
i.e.
DL-Finance Company ALL
| |
GL-Finance
|
GL-Finance Managers
I have looked at NetDOC AD http://www.dataassist.de/en/index.php?id=84
and while it might do some of it, it doesn't recursively look up the
line to see what the groups might be members of.
