Active Directory Design Software

EDraw Network Diagram enables network and system administrators to plan, create, and maintain their networks by providing a clear and detailed graphic representation of their Microsoft Windows network structure.

Managing a computer network today is no small task. In addition to controlling access to printers and files over the network, most administrators must also manage security and access, optimize traffic flow across Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs), coordinate repair and maintenance of network equipment, and oversee data backup, storage, and recovery.

Directory service applications, such as Active Directory, provide a central location for managing network assets, such as domains, computers, users, groups, and so on. Active Directory organizes those assets into a hierarchical tree structure, which is typically viewed in a small window with expandable/collapsible icons, much like Windows Explorer. Just drag and drop pre-drawn shapes and double click and set the data. 

The EDraw Directory Services solution provides administrators with clear, detailed representations of current and proposed directory structures, which can be viewed, printed, and presented to management for planning new networks, coordinating migrations, and for documenting existing networks.

Active Directory Stencils

The strength of EDraw lies in its ease-of-use. You don't need to be a graphic artist or have years of experience with complex graphic software packages to create directory services diagrams. You simply drag and drop from a stencil of shapes onto the drawing page.
