[Xymon] AD connectivity / performance test

[Andy Smith]

Hi,

Is anyone carrying out any monitoring (local or remote) of Windows 
Domain Controllers?  If I were to carry out a remote LDAPS test to 
retrieve an OU would the success and connection time for that 
transaction be a good indicator of 'user experience' ?  I see some 
monitors on Xymonton looking at the output from DCDIAG.EXE but these 
will require BBWin or equivalent to be installed and I probably wont get 
  that authorized and VBS is not well known to me anyway.

Thanks
