SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Visio, when you attempt to rotate or flip shapes in an Active Directory diagram, the shapes in your diagram are rotated or flipped as expected. However, the relationships between the shapes are not retained in your drawing page or in the Directory Navigator window.



CAUSE
This problem can occur when you attempt to use the Rotate Right, Rotate Left, Flip Horizontal, or Flip Vertical commands on the Shape menu to rotate or flip shapes in an Active Directory diagram.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, click Undo on the Edit menu to resume the original layout of your Active Directory diagram.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
With the Active Directory template, you can diagram new directories, create alternative designs for existing directories, or document and design plans for updating or migrating your existing directory service. Use the solution to physically design the directory service, plan and allocate current and future network resources, and set network policies before the actual physical network is in place. You can also import data from an existing Active Directory network database. The Active Directory template also allows you to import all objects in the database, a select group of objects, or forest information from the configuration context. You can then use this data to modify real-time resources or redesign your directory.
