Active Directory Healthcheck
Experts recommend that an organization should run an Active Directory HealthCheck at least every quarter, with some very large enterprises that have made it a best practice to run subsets of the Active Directory HealthCheck daily. As collaborative environments mature and change, Active Directory must be properly maintained and groomed to support these changes. For instance, an environment can see changes within some of the following areas:
- Rapid increases in size or activity of user community
- Increased integration with external systems
- Increased mobile or remote users
- Dramatic increases in storage requirements that lead to strains on archiving and backup systems
Azaleos' AD Healthcheck is designed to evaluate the overall status of an Active Directory environment. This process is intended to determine where problems may exist that could negatively impact the performance or capabilities of the environment.
We examine the current environment, detects any deficiencies or problems and provides appropriate recommendations. We cover the following areas:
- Service pack and hot fix status
- Active Directory replication status
- DNS status
- Site topology
- Global Catalog distribution
- Schema health
- FSMO role distribution
- Backup and recovery procedures
- Fault tolerance / High availability capacity
A healthy Active Directory ensures a strong user experience, from access to critical systems to quicker logon time, more reliable resource usage and decreased help desk support issues.
