COMPASS | Active Directory Monitoring Tool

With Compass Active Directory monitoring tool, you can avoid the following problems:

• Logon Failure

  Logon failure can occur throughout the domain or forest if a trust relationship or name resolution fails, or if a global catalog server cannot determine universal group membership.

• Account lockout

  User and service accounts can become locked out if the PDC emulator is unavailable in the domain or replication fails between several domain controllers.

• Domain Controller failure

  If the drive containing the Ntds.dit file runs out of disk space, the domain controller stops functioning.

• Application failure

  Applications that are critical to your business, such as Microsoft Exchange or another e-mail application, can fail if address book queries into the directory fail.

• Inconsistent directory data

  If replication fails for an extended period of time, objects (known as lingering objects and re-animated objects) can be created in the directory and might require extensive diagnosis and time to eliminate.

• Account creation failure

  A domain controller is unable to create user or computer accounts if it exhausts its supply of relative IDs and the RID master is unavailable.

• Security policy failure

  If the SYSVOL shared folder does not replicate properly, Group Policy objects and security policies are not properly applied to clients.

• Bad backups

  Ensure that your AD is backed up regularly with Compass.
