Never used Tivoli. From an RFP that an IBM vendor presented
us a couple of years ago, I thought it was excessively complex, at least
for our environment.
Regardless of the product, if it installs an agent on your
DCs and you don't control the monitoring framework, then you're creating an
opportunity for a non-domain admin to become one.

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
