Performance Monitoring Tool For AD?

user · Joined: 06 Aug 2007 Posts: 2

Greetings,

I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good tool, along the lines of
OPmanager or MOM, that can provide intuitive performance monitoring and
reporting for AD items such as GC availability and performance (and warning
of saturation), LSASS usage, automatic kicking of inefficient LDAP queriers.
We are still an all 2000 shop (AD/Exchange/OL2000) and it seems like some
GC's are being preferentially selected and the load is not spread enough,
and we're trying to resolve issues from clients reporting slow Outlook
response (even from some of our OL2003 clients who aren't on cached mode).
I've looked at OPmanager and MOM (or SCOM I suppose it is now) and don't
find their interfaces to be terribly user friendly. If someone could make a
recommendation on this I would be most appreciative.

Thanks.
