PowerShell and Visio – Documenting AD: 2
I’ve taken the script to add OUs to a drawing and modified it so that the addition is performed by a function.
I started with a text file containing some OUs
ou=England,dc=Maticore,dc=org
ou=Scotland,dc=Maticore,dc=org
ou=Wales,dc=Maticore,dc=org
ou=Ireland,dc=Maticore,dc=org
ou=Portugal,dc=Maticore,dc=org
ou=Belgium,dc=Maticore,dc=org
ou=Latvia,dc=Maticore,dc=org
Notice that they are all top level OUs – lets not get too ambitious!

The functions add the domain and OU objects to the drawing. Only change is that I set the text property of the OU and domain.
The main body of the script creates the drawing as before. Uses the file name to get the domain and then reads the file. It splits out the OU names and calculates the Y co-ordinate then adds the OU
Next up I need to deal with child OUs
