Active Directory Documentation

Active Directory Documentation

I was doing a audit and need to get a Visio architecture for the Active Directory Architecture to understand the overall design and implementation and it was a painful by looking into location segmented AD architecture ( if you are a network administrator or Security Administrator you can really understand my pain) , i came across this tool from Microsoft called Active Directory Topology Diagrammer which did a awesome job for documenting Active directory and I ran the tool first on a Active Directory Vmware workstation image on my laptop and WOH it does what needs to be presented ( my work has become easy now just write up & add details)

This tool automates Microsoft Office Visio to draw a diagram of the Active Directory Domain topology, your Active Directory Site topology, your OU structure or your current Exchange 200X Server Organization. With the Active Directory Topology Diagrammer tool, you can also draw partial Information from your Active Directory, like only one Domain or one site. The objects are linked together, and arranged in a reasonable layout that you can later interactively work with the objects in Microsoft Office Visio.

You can download the tool from Here.
