Monitoring Active Directory

[Gareth Fletcher]

What functional level are you at? In 2008 you can protect OUs in AD from being moved etc. It's annoyingly easy it is to accidently click/drag OUs in AD....

You could also use nsclient++ on your domain controller and run a power shell script to compare list of OU's

Cheers

Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Active Directory


Hey folks,

   I just started a new job, and my immediate task is to build a new Nagios system for them.  I love my new job...  :)

   They would like to monitor Active Directory OUs, so that Nagios alerts if any of a certain group of OUs are moved/renamed/deleted.
Apparently, this happens every so often due to the number of admins that need rights to the AD structure.

   So.  I checked on the exchange site and did some googling, but have not found any community plugins that will allow me to specify an OU and alert if it's not present.

Anyone have something in their toolbox for this?

Thanks!

Benny
