| New Active Directory tool aids IT continuity Winternals, a provider of Microsoft systems infrastructure availability and performance solutions, has launched Insight for Active Directory, a real-time diagnostic solution that pinpoints the precise causes of application and service failures resulting from Active Directory configuration, corruption and communication issues.
Problems with Active Directory can disrupt enterprise e-mail and messaging systems, databases, systems management frameworks and CRM - and can prevent access to corporate directories, computer logon, file and printer sharing, group policy and other critical services. In contrast to existing tools that repackage easily obtained Active Directory statistics and alerts, Insight for Active Directory delivers detailed, actionable information that's not available from any other source. The ability of Insight for Active Directory to speed resolution of application failures and service disruptions was demonstrated during extensive customer trials, as IT professionals related how the product enabled them to bypass the prolonged, trial-and-error processes once needed to solve Active Directory -related issues. Insight for Active Directory can simultaneously display and log the communication between the Active Directory and multiple computers anywhere on the network. Detailed, customisable views present information about the applications, services and accounts requesting the data, reporting the exact objects referenced by each transaction and their locations within the Active Directory. Users can configure the product to automatically highlight transaction errors, timing issues and relationships between events. Insight for Active Directory is now available and licensed by user console, remote server and remote workstation monitored. It runs on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
