Re: [ActiveDir] Active Directory Health Check tool - where can it run from?
Title: Active Directory Health Check tool - where can it run from? I assume you are referring to the ADST tool that you get if you're a premier customer and MSFT come and do an AD Healthcheck. As far as I know, this can be run from anywhere (in the domain), as it's really just a bunch of VBS scripts that do ADSI and WMI queries against the DCs. The cool thing is these scripts are wrapped behind a decent GUI. --Paul - Original Message - From: Washington, Booker To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 10:26 PM Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory Health Check tool - where can it run from? It is the Active Directory Health Check Snapshot Tool. What exactly is ADRAP? I got a copy from our Forest Admins because I am a child domain of the forest. The reason that I ask is because I seem to get buggy results when I go from an XP workstation, or a member server, and I wondered if I needed to run it from the DC itself.

RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory Health Check tool - where can it run from?
ADRAP being AD Risk Assesment Program or something along that line - MS comes out for some number of days, runs that tool and makes recommendations on changes to make to the forest - it's a health check, basically. Your forest admins aren't supposed to be emailing that thing around the company. My recollection is that the license is one year from the date of the ADRAP to be used on the machine it was installed on only. --brian From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Washington, Booker Sent: Tue 10/31/2006 4:26 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory Health Check tool - where can it run from?

Your forest admins aren't supposed to be emailing that thing around the company. My recollection is that the license is one year from the date of the ADRAP to be used on the machine it was installed on only. Actually, I was in an ADRAP with my organization today, and the MS rep said the license is for one year for the forest. He encouraged us to keep it somewhere on the network and use it over the next year. If you have a multi-forest environment, I guess it wouldn't apply to the other forests.
