DirectoryTroubleshooter Listing updated: January 31, 2007

DirectoryTroubleshooter provides real-time domain controller information via a graphical interface. From its charts and graphs, administrators can identify problem areas and repair directory issues across multiple DCs. The diagnostic console provides administrators several diagnostic views into the DC, including core operating system views (CPU, memory, disk, and network utilization) and the directory service views (File Replication Services, directory service.) Users can jump to each view and check DC diagnostics across several DCs without leaving their workstations. By providing the DC information in a single console, administrators can reduce the time it takes to run health checks and diagnostics across remote DCs and cut costs by avoiding extended end-user downtime. DirectoryTroubleshooter aims to complement and extend the functionality of unattended monitoring solutions (i.e. DirectoryAnalyzer, MOM, HPOVOW).
