One way to do this is set up "stations" that on some
frequency will send ldap queries to your DCs. You will then simply record the
time it took to process the query. Obviously do something that is consistent
(rootdse or specific attribs from the default context) so your times don't
deviate based on amount of information returned. This gives you data you can
track long term for how fast or slow a given DC is. If you exceed some average
you define as bad, you alert on it. This could warn you of network issues (say a
virus is eating up more and more bandwidth) or your DC is getting overloaded or
hurting.

Anyone found a clever way to monitor and alert on this stuff? J Counters maybe?
