Risk Assessment Program for Active Directory (ADRAP)


Maximize Performance with Critical Analysis

Microsoft Active Directory forms a critical backbone for the support of your enterprises information structure. A poorly functioning Active Directory environment impacts security boundaries, replication, and delegate administration causing significant impact to your business. Microsoft ADRAP proactively diagnoses and troubleshoots issues before they arise. Microsoft ADRAP is an in-depth analysis of an organizations Active Directory. Working with Senior IT staff members and engineers in charge of supporting the Active Directory environment, Microsofts own highly experienced engineers collect and analyze a series of data points to identify areas for remediation. After the engagement, organizations can effectively utilize the Active Directory Snapshot Tool to diagnose vulnerabilities within their environment for maximum performance. For further details, please contact your local Microsoft Services practice which can be found at: Http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide/

Maximize your Microsoft Investment


Microsoft ADRAP provides critical insight into the health of your directory service. Microsofts own experienced internal engineers utilize our own IT departments tools to take a snapshot of your production Active Directory (AD) environment. Analysis of performance, configuration, and event data for each Domain Controller (DC) in your forest enables engineers to provide clear steps for maximizing the performance of your AD investment. During the engagement, your own key personnel will gain experience by diagnosing and troubleshooting issues identified by the Active Directory Snapshot Tool. This enables the performance of your AD environment to be maintained after the engagement.

Our engineers provide analysis of a comprehensive set of data relating to Active Directory, including:

Directory Service Replication


- Replication Status - AD Convergence - Bridgeheads and ISTGs - Large Groups

File Replication Service


SYSVOL Convergence Orphaned GPTs, Unlinked GPOs SYSVOL Consistency SYSVOL Information DNSLint DCDIAG-DNS WINS 1B and 1C IPCONFIG (WINS and DNS) DCDIAG - General Performance Statistics Time Configuration OS Information

Name Resolution

Domain Controllers Health

Key Focus Areas


Data collection is the key component of a successful engagement. Designed to take advantage of Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), the Active Directory Snapshot Tool integrates directly with the core operating system management interface.

AD Database Analysis
- Database Information - Partition ACLs - AD Object Count

The Active Directory Snapshot Tool provides valuable real-time information about the performance, configuration, and health of the key Active Directory components.

Others
- Exchange DSACCESS - Account Information - Account Lockouts

Engagement Without Business Interference


Microsoft ADRAP is designed to have no impact to your ongoing business. Onsite engagement is kept to an absolute minimum through ongoing research and development that maximizes the effectiveness of the Active Directory Snapshot Tool. To enable effective engagement, the following items are required: Enterprise admin access High-end workstation or server-class machine Windows 2003/XP 2003 Support Tools Visio 2002 or later Full RPC access to all forest DCs English version of the OS English locale in the regional settings Conference room with a projector for the onsite portion of the engagement Access to a plotter (optional, but highly recommended) organization are met. As part of the engagement, our engineers will enable your own staff to utilize the Active Directory Snapshot Tool. This tool will remain available for use within your organization for up to one year following the engagement of our engineers. With a Web-based user interface (UI), data is easy to read and understand with sections relative to the analyzed component. The output incorporates sorting and filtering capabilities, along with data history for future review. Explanations and definitions are incorporated directly into the Web UI via mouse-over for appropriate columns of data. Full documentation is included with the Web page.
