Dear Experts,

I'm trying to export our AD objects and wanted to use diagram software to visually create the schema for better understanding and maintenance of our whole AD hierarchy, mainly I need the OU, group, users and computers collations, I can have different files to store the different schemas.

The question is that, I don't know if this is possible somehow in an automatic way? like I export the needed data via powershell then import it to visio for it to generate the schema for me? I'm trying to export the object properties in .csv format, but after importing it to the visio, I don't know how to link the data to the existing Active Directory template so the relationships among the objects can be auto-organized by visio?

Any hints would be really appreciated.
