[Xymon] monitoring Domain Controllers

NTDS is the core AD service, ADWS is only web services to allow connectivity to AD using http/https. All 12 of our DC's have them running at the same time.

Hi,

            Recently, I inherited some Windows machines. Including a

pair of Domain controllers.

            I’m wondering  what are somethings I’m going to want to

monitor to make sure these things keep running?

            I have the Powershell client installed no problem.



            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?

            Is there a way to do a combo test to make sure it is

running on only one?

Thanks,

Paul.
