Um - how is it supposed to know where every server is?

DC information is stored in AD - that's easy to extract. Server information 
means querying the OS version of every computer object. Then locating the IP 
address of that server, say, in DNS (and then what happens if you have 
duplicate records for a particular server?), and then adding it to a diagram. 
That said, I think Visio 2002 Enterprise Architect edition did this.

But you may be better off just writing some script that has the necessary logic 
for your environment to do this.

Cheers

Darn...will any tool auto-map out *all* the servers?

ADFind does not create Visio diagrams. Are you suing ADTD? If so this will show 
you all of your DC's, GC's and Sites not all the workstations and servers.

I'm trying to use the ADFIND tool that draws Visio's of your Active Directory 
structure, it seems to give me most things, but when I select "Draw Servers" 
I'm expecting it to draw out every server it find in AD...shouldn't that be the 
case?
