PowerShell and Visio – Documenting AD: 3
Up to now we have been dealing with a single level of OUs. There are few AD implementations that don’t have child OUs so how do we deal with them.

The difference here is in the way we handle the OUs. We get the parent of the OU we are working with. If the parent is the domain we link back to that as before. If its another OU we link to that.
A variable is created for every OU object in the diagram at the time we create it. We can then use get-variable to find the value of the variable to be our parent for linking
