RE: [ActiveDir] AD Snapshot Tool (ADST) - how useful is it?
I agree with your ideals and wish the folks responsible for these things did, too, and would do something about it. I'd say, though, most do not today for whatever reason. I base this on empirical data of visiting a couple hundred different customers for various AD issues. Some customers look at me like I'm crazy when I talk about what happens when a DC is unreachable for greater than the tombstone lifetime interval while too many look embarrassed and describe how it's already happened to them. And I'm not talking about instances where the customer was actually aware of this happening until it was too late. As for the tool being free, I don't have any internal knowledge of pricing or future plans, but I would suspect that's a direction the tool is moving towards. The ExBPA is freely downloadable and the same internal group (different factions, perhaps, but the same overall group) are responsible for these engagements and tools. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe > Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2006 10:17 AM > To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org > Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD Snapshot Tool (ADST) - how useful is it? > > I see your points and think they are more of an argument to > find and get the good dedicated knowledgeable people or farm > out support to a company who has good knowledgeable people > versus get a one time or even once per year consult.

RE: [ActiveDir] AD Snapshot Tool (ADST) - how useful is it?
I see your points and think they are more of an argument to find and get the good dedicated knowledgeable people or farm out support to a company who has good knowledgeable people versus get a one time or even once per year consult. That one time consult does nothing to protect the infrastructure over the long term. If companies still to this point, do not understand the importance and criticality of Active Directory to them and it is truly is important and critical, IMO, they deserve anything that happens to them. Too many places, again IMO, run in a state where they assume everything will be running fine and don't get themselves into a position with knowledge and understanding and dedicated resources to handle issues that crop up and so issues that should be small issues or non-issues end up blowing up into disasters. I am aware of one company that took a non-issue that had it been handled by a solid knowledgeable crew would not have been but a blip on a monitor station and turned it into a week long outage. No part of it could have been prevented or probably even hinted at from a "swing on by and try to point out issues" but could easily have been handled by having empowered knowledgeable dedicated resources. Every company needs to ask themselves exactly how long can they go with being 100% down for various resources. Most places would be in extremely bad shape if something critical were out for a week. Finally, a tool that looks at an infrastructure and gathers the info together and tells you where the holes are probably shouldn't be an item that costs money from the company producing the infrastructure software... I would expect it to come with the infrastructure components or be a download. It isn't like if this were free the support teams at MSFT wouldn't have anything to do... joe -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Adner Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2006 12:50 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD Snapshot Tool (ADST) - how useful is it?

The quality of AD admins in even very large orgs varies more than the engineers delivering the RAPs. I've seen "AD administrators" that literally had no clue what DSRM was, how data is transferred between DCs (doesn't FRS replicate users, too?

RE: [ActiveDir] AD Snapshot Tool (ADST) - how useful is it?
I.E. This is easy money for the company, please don't distribute the tool that collects the data as that is really the whole ADRAP for the most part unless the people getting it really haven't a clue what they are doing with AD at all at which point you should be looking at spending money on getting admins who have a clue versus bringing in MSFT for a one shot peek. Until Microsoft puts together a AD and Exchange RAP that looks at both together and tries to determine the causes of issues from each other I see the whole RAP thing as having very limited use in Orgs that use AD and Exchange. If you just use AD then it is pretty decent. However if you have both, the Exchange RAP tends to point at AD saying that it has massive issues and the AD RAP tends to say things are pretty decent. Or at least that is the results I have seen in every single case where both RAPs have been performed. Certainly the analysis was nothing to write home about. However I expect that entirely depends on who you happen to get in the drawing of who does your analysis, the skill levels vary greatly as I have seen some pretty intelligent things in the analysis and I have seen some absolutely stinkeroo completely incorrect things where you wonder if the analyzer had actually every been introduced to AD. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Fleischman Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2006 12:11 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD Snapshot Tool (ADST) - how useful is it?

Title: AD Snapshot Tool (ADST) - how useful is it?
The ADST has no direct ties to PSS; it was created by a
different organization within Microsoft. It is not a glorified MPSReports,
if that's what you're thinking. It collects a myriad of data about the
configuration of the replication topology, DC's, replication status, FRS status,
GPO's, DNS, WINS, database, etc. It includes almost 200 rules to identify
various items in the data to help ease troubleshooting of
them.
It is only available through the ADRAP (which is only
conducted by the group who wrote the tool).
