RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP Traffic Replay

[Darren Mar-Elia]

Insight for AD doesn't replay traffic but it will capture LDAP client activity on a per process level. Joe, have you looked at Server Performance Advisor 2.0 to get some of these metrics? It doesn't help with the replayability but it does help characterize load based on AD-specific events.     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Desmond Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2005 10:04 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP Traffic Replay The Winternals AD Insight thing may do this…   Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED]   c - 312.731.3132     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2005 12:32 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] LDAP Traffic Replay   Is anyone aware of a tool that will sit and watch LDAP traffic and track the threads/clients/etc and then be able to replay that traffic?   Basically I am looking for a way to better judge DC perf in relation to Exchange LDAP queries. Setting up a whole Exchange environment to test the DCs is testing both Exchange and the DC and I am looking to try and narrow that to just AD so I can answer some of the questions of GC/DC capacity better than the 4:1 ratio business which everyone says isn't that great but doesn't seem to have anything easy to do that is better. I would like to track traffic to production GC/DCs and then be able to replay that LDAP load as desired over and over again against various pieces of hardware with different configs.      joe
