February 01 2006
Men & Mice Release DNS Expert AD Monitor v.4.5
Today, Men & Mice released version 4.5 of their DNS Expert AD Monitor for Microsoft Active DirectoryTM (AD) as part of their Men & Mice Suite, the company's leading DNS, DHCP and IP Address Management solution.
Those who work with Active Directory fully understand the critical role DNS plays in such a setup. In fact, a survey published by Microsoft indicated that 70% of all Active Directory problems are DNS-related. This is why DNS Expert AD Monitor, with over 200 different alerts, is a "must-have" application for every Active Directory administrator. With the release of version 4.5, Men & Mice has added many important features to this unique tool, including:
-
More precise and descriptive error messages to allow for faster problem resolution
-
Detection of GUID record problems that can break AD replication
-
New configuration options for large environments that allow administrators to specify from which DNS server to retrieve zones when analyzing DNS
-
More accurate alerts for issues affecting domain controllers
-
XML formatted reports for easy importing to external reporting systems
-
The inclusion of the DNS Expert AD knowledge base
"This product has been on the market for several years and we know how much value it is providing to our customers. We incorporated the feedback from these customers to bring even more value to this new release," says Men & Mice CTO, Sigurdur Ragnasson. "Many AD administrators have never had to deal with the arcane world of DNS. Others are familiar with DNS, but not the exceptionally complex setups that are common in AD environments. DNS Expert AD Monitor meets the needs of both groups by enabling easy, yet comprehensive, monitoring of DNS setup for Active Directory."
