It's not that significant. In your case, running dcdiag as I suggested
tests everything in one go and returns a result that looks like --

      Starting test: Replications
         ......................... MISDC02 passed test Replications
      Starting test: NCSecDesc
         ......................... MISDC02 passed test NCSecDesc
      Starting test: NetLogons
         ......................... MISDC02 passed test NetLogons
      Starting test: Advertising
         ......................... MISDC02 passed test Advertising

While I have never seen a failure, I would expect that they might look
something like --

      Starting test: Replications
         ......................... MISDC02 failed test Replications
      Starting test: NCSecDesc
         ......................... MISDC02 passed test NCSecDesc
      Starting test: NetLogons
         ......................... MISDC02 failed test NetLogons
      Starting test: Advertising
         ......................... MISDC02 passed test Advertising

With perl it'd be an easy task to pick off the lines that 'failed', grab
the last word, concatenate it to an output variable then exit with
something like --
	
	CRITICAL: failed Replications, NetLogons
