NTDS is the core AD service, ADWS is only web services to allow
connectivity to AD using http/https. All 12 of our DC's have them running
at the same time.

Hi,

                Recently, I inherited some Windows machines. Including a
pair of Domain controllers.


                I’m wondering  what are somethings I’m going to want to
monitor to make sure these things keep running?


                I have the Powershell client installed no problem.


                I see DNS and DHCP services, and am adding those. Then I
see ADWS, the active director. Each machine has it as starting
automatically, but only one is running. I assume that’s correct, and that
they watch each other so only one is running, right?


                Is there a way to do a combo test to make sure it is
running on only one?


Thanks,

Paul.
