how to link a network command to a visio diagram?

[Brad Billson]

How do I run a ping command when clicking on a specific Object (Server) in a
Visio 2003 document, or any other command to check the status of an object?

Visio doesn't support pinging directly, you have to write code to make it
happen. You can use hyperlink to execute a telnet command to test
connectivity. You can also either write a simple macro to execute a MSTSC
connection to reach out to wintel devices. Finally Bill Morein wrote a web
service to execute MSTSC also
