Hello,

I am looking for some Microsoft tools (maybe from ResKits) for monitoring
Active Directory and File Replication Service. I've heard of a tool called
Sonar but have not found it. Can anyone recommend any tools or let me know
where I can find Sonar?

TIA,
Rich

Try running netdiag, repadmin and dcdiag. Look for fail, error and warning
errors.

If you don't have the tools installed load them from your install disk.

d:\i386\adminpak.msi (Server tools for remote management of servers)
d:\support\tools\setup.exe (Server Utilities)

Copy the following to a cmd file and run look for error, fail and warn
within the reports. Make sure you modify DC_Name to the name of a dc in
your domain.

@echo off

c:
cd \
cd "program files\support tools"

del c:\dcdiag.log
dcdiag /e /c /v /s:DC_Name /f:c:\dcdiag.log
start c:\dcdiag.log

netdiag.exe /v > c:\netdiag.log
start c:\netdiag.log

repadmin.exe /showrepl dc* /verbose /all /intersite > c:\repl.txt
start c:\repl.txt

Hi Rich,

I would suggest you to try Replmon tool that is part of Support tools
that comes with the WIndows installation CD
You can use this tool to watch your AD replication
and regarding FRS replication i would suggest that you keep an eye on
the Event Viewer
