Hi, I'm looking for a software with which I can read data from the Windows Active Directory (LDAP) and can create an organization chart. My question: Is this possible with Visio? I can not find any information on the web to and before I buy the software, I knew this, of course, gladly. Thanks for your answer in advance. Best regards

Hi,

As far as I know, your request could be done via Visio was used in combination with Active Directory Topology Diagrammer. It reads an Active Directory configuration using LDAP, and then automatically generates a Visio diagram of your Active Directory and /or your Exchange Server topology.

For more detail information, please refer to the following link:
