Todd,
Are
you aware that NetPro has now introduced what I would call a Management Pack for
AD for MOM? I haven't had time to look at it in depth yet, but am looking
forward to it possibly this weekend.....

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
