The bad thing is that on the computer running ADTD it is necessary that Visio is installed. The good thing about ADTD is that it automatically creates the charts of an AD infrastructure in Visio, so you do not have to start creating them from scratch. If you know any alternatives, please do tell me. Unfortunately, there is no such tool, free or paid, that does the same job as ADTD. However, it works well to some extent with today’s versions of Windows Server. The latest tool update was released in 2011 and does not seem to have been updated at all ever since. Charts include domains, sites, OUs, DFS-R, etc., and can be modified through Microsoft Visio. In this process, I found the free Active Directory Topology Diagrammer (ADTD) tool which you can download it here.Īs stated in Microsoft’s description on the tool download page, ADTD connects to the Active Directory through LDAP and then creates the topology of the Active Directory and/or Exchange Server infrastructure. So, today I wanted to document the Active Directory infrastructure of my homelab in a way that I get a graphical representation of how everything’s connected with each other.
