Is the box a windows 2000 box and it just sits at the windows 2000 blue screen 
- totally pingable but doing nothing else?

No we cant rdp into the box when it hangs.  We have tools that do everything 
from NetIQ Application manager to HP Openview to Ethereal, but if I get here in 
the morning, and I want to do a quick functions check of the system, I will 
need a compilation of tools that can test things up and down the OSI model, and 
then I will probably parse through that output for sucesses and failures.  Much 
like the eventcomb tool that takes a list of systems and parses through their 
event logs and pulls out things I would want to see, its lightweight and gives 
me only what I request.

Are you able to RDP to the DC when it "hangs"?

Its not for troubleshooting, its so we can tell when the DC is hung, you cant 
tell when its hung because our monitoring software only pings by ip and it 
responds.  If it replies, I know it can serve ldap queries, and then i can rpc 
ping it and make sure that authentication requests will be answered.  Its just 
to do a quick check of whats going on first thing in the morning.

So you ldap ping the DC and it replies or it does not. What does this tell you? 
How does it help troubleshoot the issue? 
  
I'd suggest more detailed tools are needed such as network / packet sniffers 
etc. They should be able to build a picture of the situation better than a ping 
which offers little more than a 'yes/no' response.

Hey all, 
  
Does anyone know of a command line utility that allows you to test ldap 
connections?  We have a dc that hangs, but remains pingable and I would like to 
do ldap pings to it to as well as rpc pings.  I know about the rpc ping 
utility, but I wanted to test for ldap connectivity as well.  Does anyone know 
of a utility like this? 
  
  
Thanks, 
  
Nate
