RE: [ActiveDir] Monitoring DC's

[Al Garrett]

Never used Tivoli. We run an open-source solution: OpenNMS on Linux. Provides real-time monitoring of services along with availability and bandwidth charts. Asset management. Paging, text and e-mail notification with escalation. Very customizable, very CHEAP and reliable.   -----Original Message----- From: Tom Kern [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 10, 2006 1:19 PM To: activedirectory Subject: [ActiveDir] Monitoring DC's   We currently run Tivoli for monitoring and software distribution here(No, SMS and MOM are not an option). Right now there are talks about installing Tivoli endpoints on our Win2k3 DC's for monitoring those as well.   How do people on this list feel about Tivoli for monitoring, specifically, and installing 3rd party software on a DC for monitoring things like FRS,DNS,DC availability,etc, in general?     Thanks
