Title: Replication traffic monitoring & accounting

You can look at the NTDS perfmon counters, which include some replication traffic metrics. You might also want to look at your SYSVOL for recent large (relatively speaking) files that someone may have inserted via group policy objects. Possibly software distribution?

Subject: [ActiveDir] Replication traffic monitoring & accounting

Hi all,

Our network guys posted an interesting stats today, one of the DC in the remote site was using 40MByte of bandwidth over 3 hours in total. The dcs are plain dc with wins service installed (but the wins arent replicating to that particular dc) - the only thing is that one of the dc is running msmq with public queues on it.

Since the two DCs are rather standard, im wondering how do I do accounting on my end if possible to find out what could possibly be wrong - 40Mbyte of data over 3 hours is rather huge and choking up one of our slow 128k lines (sucky I know)

Without doing sniffing or on the network end etc, is there a way I could count replication traffic over to particular DC (perfmon maybe?) - not sure if inbound dra etc counters are related...

Anyone went down similar track before?

Thank you and have a splendid day!
 
Kind Regards,
