Monitor the domain controller to track failed login attempts, account lockouts, and changes in audit policies.
Prevent failure of replication and other directory services, such as inter-site messaging and DNS services.
Monitor LDAP client sessions and processes to troubleshoot and resolve issues faster to save time.
Along with Active Directory, monitor and get performance issue alerts for physical and virtual environments.
Monitoring domain controllers will let you know whether the CPU usage has reached its threshold, a user account is locked, or if a login issue is present. Active Directory performance monitoring from SolarWinds® Server & Application Monitor (SAM) gives insight into Active Directory issues related to:
Server & Application Monitor
Automatic application discovery and dependency mapping.
Unified server and application monitoring across private, public, and hybrid cloud environments.
Built-in templates provide best practices
Domain controller stops working when NTDS files run out of disk space, resulting in user authentication and access failure.
User files and folders can get locked if they are not replicated with the file server using the service.
User accounts get locked if the PDC emulator is unavailable in the domain, or if replication fails between domain controllers.
