Visio needs a Forrest and Tree symbol in Active Directory Objects

[Frustrated Teacher]

Using Visio (Office 2003)

Tried searching on the WEB, no joy.
I am designing a top level network diagram, for beginners as a conceptual
diagram.
I know all about Domains should be enough for a true network diagram.
I need a Tree and Forrest object in Visio.

Isn't this just a matter of creating a triangluar shape?

No,

If I was doing a Network diagram, yes it would be. The first Domain becomes
the root of the forrest etc....

I have seen symbols of forrests etc... in Microsoft books. They all seem to
use the same symbols but I can't find them anywhere. Visio has a catalogue of
just about everything else but no forrest or tree symbols that match those
used in the standard texts.

Visio was developed outside of Microsoft and though it has been six years
since it was acquired there are still divisions of Microsoft that use other
products. So what you say, may not have been created in Visio.

Do you have examples of the shapes you need?
