Hello;

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how I might be able to
 test several AD Domains and show the results in Xymon?
Do you already have the basic ldap monitor in bb-bet working?
 One of my AD
 domains became unresponsive today due to DNS (not Microsoft DNS) and the
 delay in notifying us caused lots of heartache.
Shouldn't you monitor this DNS then?
I did see Buchan's OpenLDAP tests, not sure if that is the right way to go,
 or even if it will work.
My OpenLDAP monitor is specific to OpenLDAP, for monitoring replication and 
performance, which aren't applicable to AD.

I note that AD is a very broad term covering many services on many protocols 
(LDAP, Kerberos, NTP/SNTP, DNS, DHCP, CIFS etc. etc.).

Buchan
