Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Way OT: DC & Server monitoring tools
You will get as many different answers as people that
respond to this. Monitoring tends to be a big personal feeling item, especially
when you start asking for cheap solutions. Most of the bigger well known names
are not inexpensive such as MOM, HP OVO, etc.
Something I used for a long time for various things
including a majority of the monitoring of the DCs of a very large AD
Deployment I used to do ops for was called HostMonitor.
The tool is (or at least was I haven't looked in a while)
primarily agentless, in fact agents were an addon if you wanted them. That is
one of the things I liked about it. I have personal issues with depending on a
server completely monitoring itself. The issues being additional overhead for
the agents, the fact that the agents can impact the functioning of the server,
and that if the server is bad enough off, the agent can't tell anyone anyway. I
much prefer service availability based monitoring, test the services remotely
like a client would.
I was able to pull most of my custom perl scripts into the
engine and let it do the driving of the scripts and the notification for all
sorts of things like AD replication, WINS name resolution, etc.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Way OT: DC & Server monitoring tools
Hi all
Just looking for some advice on server monitoring tools, and for DC monitoring as well as exchange monitoring
I'm currently using Argent but found it much of a hassle to setup and the predefined rules out of the box is very standard and is much more expensive than others as well.
Tried installing MOM but the gui isnt easy (havent have time to play around much)...
Any suggestions or experience on good monitoring products - preferred agentless..
Thank you and have a splendid day!
Kind Regards,
