FWIW in the latest revision of the HP OVOw tool is now called the HP OpenView Topology Viewer or OVTV. The tool now accompanies both the AD SPI and the Exchange SPI since it features the capability to visually lay out both the Active Directory and the Exchange Organization. Also the tool can now save the views into an XML format for easy reuse and possible data accessibility by another application or script.
I could not find any documentation on the HP web site showing updated screen shots from the latest revision (although I did not look too hard) so I have temporarily posted some basic screen shots of a test environment at the following URL if anyone wants to take a peak. http://www.sacnet.us/ovtv Regards, Aric Bernard -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 4:27 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT - just a bit OT. Visio and AD I think I could have called that one. ;o) Thanks for doing that, my version was pretty old. Last time I ran it at xxxx it generated a map that was like 14 pages wide or something like that. Rather large but still useful. Also since Guido hasn't mentioned it, folks may want to peek at the HP OVO/W ADSPI package. The old Age of Directories piece is in there and named Active Directory Topology Viewer (ADTV). The view you get with that is very cool. Heck it was very cool when I got it from Mickey back like 5-6 years ago. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Linehan Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 7:05 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT - just a bit OT. Visio and AD Ok I received many me to posts and since most of you are likely blocking attachments I have simply setup a download workspace that will be available for a day or so. As I stated below this tool comes with no official support from Microsoft. If you want to download it please use the following workspace to do so: https://sftus.one.microsoft.com/choosetransfer.aspx?key=d47fed07-f9fd-48 cf-9410-b597605c104a Select Receive Files from Microsoft and use the following password: L#oHvsiu[d Thanks, -Steve -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Linehan Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 5:33 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT - just a bit OT. Visio and AD However there is a tool that is often used by support engineers at Microsoft called ADMap that can produce maps of your AD including OUs. It is however not fully supported and simply a tool that allows for easy documentation of an environment. It will query the data from AD and make nice Visio diagrams of your AD and Exchange environment. I will send it to you offline but it comes with no support. :-) Thanks, -Steve -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cothern Jeff D.

I have done it using an older version of Visio but seem to be having problems getting 2003 to do it.
