Active Administrator for
Active Directory Health
Real-time AD health and performance diagnostics tool
Active Directory (AD) issues can have
wide-reaching effects, including
system downtime, directory
unavailability and end-user disruption.
Yet, administrators have no easy way
to identify resource bottlenecks,
causing them to spend too much
time troubleshooting and resolving
problems in AD.
Active Administrator for Active
Directory Health ensures the health and
availability of AD with troubleshooting
and diagnostics tools that monitor
performance to maintain user
productivity. With Active Administrator
for AD Health, you get invaluable
diagnostic data in a visual interface,
eliminating the learning curve so you can
identify the root cause of AD problems
shortly after you deploy the solution.
Benefits:
• Speeds AD problem resolution
with immediate visual feedback
on the status of individual
domain controllers
• Easily identifies resource
bottlenecks in real time
• Analyzes performance over time
to detect performance trends
before they impact users
• Provides health and performance
alerts and related diagnostic data
in a single console to proactivelyº
resolve AD problems
