What is Active Directory Monitoring

Active Directory® monitoring encompasses activities such as tracking the health of AD servers and the objects AD manages. Active Directory monitoring helps network administrators keep AD up to date by notifying them when server performance varies from expectations. With consistent Active Directory monitoring, administrators can help prevent network slowdowns and AD-based outages.
