Visio Stencils

[Andrew Kemp]

Hi I am currently looking for some Visio Stencils, I have found some very
useful MOSS stencils but I would really like to also find some standard MS
stencils. I am drawing a diagram of our server infrastructure and to same
having to write what OS is on it it would be great if each Shape had Windows
server 2003, SQL Server 200/2005/2008 or Exchange 2003/2007 etc...

I have looked everywhere to find these but cannot any suggestions?

Thanks

Can you not just add the text once and create your own master shapes
in your own stencil?

That is one way of doing but I was looking for the logo's for each server
too ie the Windows logo for the window servers, SQL logos for the sql servers
etc.... so at a glance of the diagram you can see what server does what.

I have seen these icons in use on presentations but not seem them for visio

Adding to what Paul said, since you know the specific companies that your
using, you might be able to get their logos from their websites or even from
their marketing group. You could then uise these to make your custom shape.

Another thought, check out Visio Cafe, here's a link via the Visio Guy
website: Network shapes

If you want to use imported images to make your custom shape, then be sure
