Title: LDAP Query Response Time

So a few ideas have been floated out on this thread. I can float a few myself if you can answer a question first: what is your goal?   Common goals I’ve heard of: I want to understand all queries my DCs are seeing I want to identify queries bogging me down I want to try and spot DC perf issues generally before they become major problems   Or do you have another goal?   ~Eric     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Friday, May 28, 2004 3:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP Query Response Time   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.       joe     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 28, 2004 2:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] LDAP Query Response Time Anyone found a clever way to monitor and alert on this stuff?  J  Counters maybe?
