Using PATROL to Monitor and Manage Microsoft Windows Active Directory

Overview Because Microsoft writes errors to the event logs when certain types of failures occur, the event log can be a good indicator of Active Directory health, particularly when errors include problems with services, failed logons, or object/policy consistency problems. One way to find errors related to Active Directory is by browsing through the event logs of each domain controller. In a large environment, this can mean sorting through thousands of events on dozens or even hundreds of servers.
