This is a Free Add-in for Visio that will help you visualize/diagram the site Topology of the Microsoft Exchange Server environment in your network, including Sites, Servers, and Connections.  I don’t have an Exchange Server environment in my Virtual Developer Network, and the Microsoft IT guys will probably kill me if I ran it inside of my corporate environment, but I thought that some of the people reading this blog might want to download it and see what they thought of it.

Here’s the description of the utility (from the download page):

Although Exchange Management are invaluable tools for managing, monitoring and administer networks, computers, services, and other system components. It does not provide a graphical view of user mailbox details. Administrators has to sift through a tree view to view the members of the Distribution Group in an organizational unit and use embedded data to figure out the details

Microsoft Management Console (MMC) hosts administrative tools that you can use to administer networks, computers, services, and other system components. Exchange Management Console and Exchange Management Shell are used to administer and configure specific settings for Mailbox servers and create and manage Mailbox objects.
The Mailbox server role hosts mailbox databases, which contain users' mailboxes. If you plan to host user mailboxes or public folders, or both, the Mailbox server role is required.

This Microsoft® Office Visio® 2007 Professional Add-In makes it easy for Exchange Administrators to visualize, explore, and communicate complex information. Instead of viewing single user data at a time, administrators can create data-connected Visio diagrams that display data at a glance and dramatically increase productivity. You can use it to diagram a Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 site topology, including sites, servers, and connections for an organization.
