You can use the DCDIAG tool to perform tests on your AD components. It's
available in the WIndows 2000 Support Tools located on the W2k CDROM under
the support folder. Just install it and go to a cmd prompt and type in:

dcdiag /v
or to send it to a text file:
dcdiag /v > c:\dcdiag.txt

It won't show performance but it shows if there are any directory services
or component errors with AD.

Also, here's an article you can read up on how to use Perfmon to look at
performance:

There's also some performance guidelines in this article:

Hello Murilo.

See if the following articles are of assistance:
223346 FSMO Placement and Optimization on Windows 2000 Domain Controllers

306602 How to Optimize the Location of a Domain Controller or Global Catalog
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=306602

If you simply want to ensure that the domain controller is operating without
any errors, please use the DCDIAG support tool.

There are also a number of Active Directory-related performance counters
within the Performance Monitor tool that may be of assistance to you.
