Hello can someone please help me with the following :)
I understand there is a built in AD data collector set in Windows performance monitor, however I understand this is more aimed at troubleshooting a domain controller (please correct if I am incorrect)
However I want to 'baseline' an existing working AD domain controller (Windows 2012 R2) as my boss want to see for example how may users typically authenticate it it each day and also how many GPOs are pulled down from the domain controller when these computer and users logon, plus how may LDAP queries is the server fielding from clients in a given day etc.
The idea being we can collect key performance indicators from each site to see which are more loaded and where then others.
We have OMS (Operations management suite) to collect information from the DCs, but I need a list of 'performance counters' and important events (e.g. important events logged to directory services log) so I can then tell the OMS people which counters/log events to collect and why
Does anyone have a list I can refer to or a script with the information in (e.g. what to collect, why and how to interpret/thresholds) ?
Thanks very much
