Yeah, thanks Darren, I was starting to think I was
going to have to do something with the Event Tracing capability which is what
SPA uses. I was hoping to be able to find something already created,
don't want to invent the solution. Prefer a tool that does it already,
barring that something that could be slapped together with perl
scripts.
I agree that AD Insight doesn't have replay capability. It
also doesn't fit this very well for a couple of reasons (this is for the benefit
of the crowd).
1. Only runs from the client side, can't hook at the
DC.
2. It isn't very stable on Exchange. I think Exchange is a
bit much for it.
3. When Exchange uses Ranged Retrieval Insight doesn't see
the traffic which seems to mean that Exchange doesn't use the standard LDAP
library when doing the ranged queries because insight hooks WLDAP32.
As for the others
Ethereal doesn't replay to my knowledge and it has trouble
decoding larger LDAP queries anyway.
I think tcpreplay will be at too low a
level.
Never heard of Wildpackets, I will check it out.
thanks everyone.

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.

On Behalf Of joe 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.
