<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#032DFD;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Apart from the other suggestions, which are all valid, as you’re using the Powershell client you can specify “adreplicationcheck” in the client-local.cfg for these domain controllers
and the client will check and report the replication status, and alert if any DCs stop replicating.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> Recently, I inherited some Windows machines. Including a pair of Domain controllers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> I’m wondering what are somethings I’m going to want to monitor to make sure these things keep running?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> I have the Powershell client installed no problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> I see DNS and DHCP services, and am adding those. Then I see ADWS, the active director. Each machine has it as starting automatically, but only one is running. I assume that’s correct, and that they watch
each other so only one is running, right? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> Is there a way to do a combo test to make sure it is running on only one?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
