Examples

There are a few samples that you see on this page which were created in the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM application by using the Active Directory Diagrams solution. Some of the solution's capabilities as well as the professional results which you can achieve are all demonstrated here on this page.

All source documents are vector graphic documents which are always available for modifying, reviewing and/or converting to many different formats, such as MS PowerPoint, PDF file, MS Visio, and many other graphic ones from the ConceptDraw Solution Park or ConceptDraw STORE. The Active Directory Diagrams solution is available to all ConceptDraw DIAGRAM users to get installed and used while working in the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and drawing software.

Example 1: Active Directory Structure Diagram

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Active Directory Objects and LDAP libraries from the Active Directory Diagrams solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

This sample represents the Active Directory structure diagram. The extensible and scalable Active Directory service is an hierarchically organized repository of information about varied objects, organizations, users, sites, systems, shares, and many other network objects of different kinds. It provides convenient means for searching and using these data, lets efficiently manage the shared network resources. Active Directory includes the following structural objects: organizational units, domains, domain trees, domain forests, sites. With Active Directory are connected almost all administrative tasks, this technology is based on the standard Internet protocols and helps clearly define the structure of network. Using the professional graphics and tools provided by the Active Directory Diagrams solution from the Computer and Networks area of ConceptDraw Solution Park, a diagram like this will only take a few moments to design. All objects offered by the solution's libraries are vector, scalable, colorful, and easy for dragging to your ConceptDraw document.

Example 2: Active Directory Domain Services Diagram

This sample shows an Active Directory structure diagram. Using the professional graphics and tools provided by the Active Directory Diagrams solution, a diagram like this will only take a few moments to design.

This sample diagram demonstrates an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), its components, relations and principles of work. Active Directory Domain Services is a centralized system of users authentication and workstations management. It is useful for organizing the network elements in a hierarchical structure, for creation infrastructure and storing the information about all objects composing it, for managing users, network resources, computers, for supporting such types of applications as directory-enabled applications. AD DS helps reduce the efforts and significantly decrease financial costs on the infrastructure maintenance, as well as increase its performance. For storage the data is used the LDAP database, for authentication is used a standardized Protocol Kerberos. Active Directory Domain Services is also important element for security and at the same time lets to simplify the users work. The Group Policy included to the AD DS is a powerful tool that helps administrator to standardize settings for computers and user settings. The use of AD DS diagram lets you create secure, manageable and scalable infrastructure for management resources and users.

Example 3: Active Directory Diagram — Asymmetric Encryption

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Active Directory Objects library from the Active Directory Diagrams solution and the Logical symbols library from the Computer Network Diagrams solution. An experienced user spent 5 minutes creating this sample.

Encryption is the cryptography process of encoding certain pieces of information or messages. In the modern world, the need to secure encryption processes have become especially important, and constantly requires new and improved methods. There are used two basic techniques for encrypting data and information: symmetric encryption (secret key encryption) and asymmetric encryption (public key encryption). This sample diagram visualizes an Asymmetric Encryption process, the technique that uses two keys to encrypt the text. The public key is in a free access to anyone who wants to send the message, the private key is known only to the message’s recipient and is kept in a secret from all. The message or document encrypted with a private key by User A can be decrypted by User B or any other user only using a public key and vice versa the message or document encrypted with a public key can be decrypted only with a private key.

Example 4: Active Directory Diagram — AD LDS as a Phone Book Service

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Active Directory Sites and Services Library from the Active Directory Diagrams solution, and Internet Symbols and Logical Symbols Libraries from the Computer Network Diagrams solution. An experienced user spent 5 minutes creating this sample.

This sample shows the AD LDS describing a Phone Book service. The directory services are perfect way to structure the information, to represent it in a hierarchical view that lets easily retrieve the needed data with required frequency. A phone book that stores information about people and organizations, their names, addresses, and phone numbers, can be also organized as a directory service. Moreover, it is a quite simple task to organize the phone book and to make it accessible at the Internet, but how to ensure security? The use of AD LDS is a good decision, because it can be deployed apart from AD DS, it provides the tools of the information retrieval service, which are easily in use and without excessive complications related with Kerberos authentication and group policies. The increased functionality of ConceptDraw DIAGRAM with the Active Directory solution installed, allows your finished designs to be shown publicly, for example through a work conference presentation, or formatted for websites, computer magazines or publications.

Example 5: Single Root Domain with a Structured OU Model

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Active Directory Objects and Active Directory Sites and Services libraries from the Active Directory Diagrams solution. An experienced user spent 5 minutes creating this sample.

The root domain is the starting point and a first domain that is created in Active Directory (AD) structure. It is located at the top of the tree and groups resources built on the such components as domain controllers and security policies. A single root domain with a structured OU perfectly suits for the small and medium companies, and can be not enough for the companies of large size. This Active Directory diagram sample designed in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM illustrates a single root domain with a structured OU (Organizational Unit) model. There are two simple ways of quickly creation the Active Directory Diagrams and Network Topology Diagrams in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software. You can either use a pre-designed template or sample as the base, or you can create an entirely new document, then drag and arrange the ready-made vector graphic objects from the offered libraries. Draw with a smile thanks to ConceptDraw DIAGRAM solutions!

Example 6: Active Directory Diagram — Site Links

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Active Directory Objects and Active Directory Sites and Services libraries from the Active Directory Diagrams solution. An experienced user spent 5 minutes creating this sample.

This sample Active Directory diagram visually represents the site links, which are the Active Directory replication paths between sites. They are manually defined that lets designer to control the network links on which the replication traffic occurs on. The site is a group of computers in one or more IP subnets that are used for planning a physical network structure. Active Directory allows to create multiple sites in a single domain or one site involving multiple domains. Using the site links you can specify an order of replication the directory data. The site links also control how the clients are directed to the domain controllers, when on the client’s local site there is no domain controller. If you create a site link between A and B sites and another site link between B and C sites, the link between A and C sites will be created automatically, and is named a site link bridge. You can observe this case on a given diagram, which contains three sites A, B, C.

Example 7: Active Directory Diagram — Tree and Forest

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Active Directory Objects and Active Directory Sites and Services libraries from the Active Directory Diagrams solution. An experienced user spent 5 minutes creating this sample.

The domain in Active Directory is a logical group of users, hosts, servers, and so on, which support a centralized administration. The set of domains that share a common namespace is called a tree, at this the child domain automatically gets a two-way trust relationships with its parent domain, i.e. permissions to access specific objects or resources. In its turn, the structure that unites the trees in Active Directory is called a forest. As a result, all trees in the forest are usually combined by the bidirectional trust relationships that let users at any tree to get the access to resources at other tree, if they have the proper permissions and rights. By default, the first domain created in a forest automatically becomes the root domain. This Active Directory network diagram depicts example of organization the Active Directory trees and forest, which includes the Root Domain at the top of the diagram and two Child Domains.
