Well
there is two schools of thought. Tell me what it looks like and how to
respond or Tell me when something is wrong and automatically respond. I
prefer a more focused view of my Active Directory, that I can delegate out to
other Domain Administrators and give them a view of the Entire Directories
Health. The only product I seen that can do that is NETPRO's Directory
Analyzer. I personally think that combining DA with MOM offers the best
combination of synthesis of information, and automated response and
warning. Although it is expensive to offer two solutions, NETPRO offers a
suite of utilities to compliment DA, including proactive DNS monitoring,
Schema and Configuration container monitoring, change log reporting, and
Troubleshooting Tools. So my preference is to use NETPRO combined with
NETIQ to do Directory and System monitoring. In the future we plan to
remove NETIQ Appmanager and replace it with MOM.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Active Directory Monitoring with MOMI'm wondering if anyone uses Microsoft Operations Manager to monitor their AD infrastructure? If not, what other product(s) are used, and how do you feel about them? What are the relative costs for the product?Chris Flesher
