Domain Controller User Log In Count

Anyone utilize WMI or a VBScript to poll Windows Domain Controllers for a count of how many users are currently logged in ? I once was able to get this info via SNMP and a MIB from Concord/Empire called SystemEdge but since upgrading to Orion and NPM we bagged the SystemEdge Agents. tried the Host Resources MIB with no luck and was sure I would find something via WMI but so far no luck. Hoping someone out there may have done this already.

Hi,

Have you tried to monitor the Win32_PerfFormattedData_NTDS_NTDS WMI Class ?

http://www.scriptinternals.com/new/us/support/Internal/WMI_Win32_PerfFormattedData_NTDS_NTDS.htm

The following properties might be what you are looking for:

NTLMAuthentications
	Data type: integer/usint32 Access type: Read-only

LDAPClientSessions
	Data type: integer/usint32 Access type: Read-only

KerberosAuthentications
	Data type: integer/usint32 Access type: Read-only

OK ..

LDAP Client Sessions maybe as close as I get to what I'm looking for. Wrote a script that gets just that and can run it from the server itself. When I take that script and create an APM Script Monitor (credentials used in script have full admin rights to the server and can perform standard WMI Queries) I keep getting the following error

Windows Script Execution Error.

Script output did not contain required field "Statistic:" Actual script output begins with ""

Tried changing wscript.echo to write to a file but get the same error. Obvioulsy not able to query the data and put it properly into the DB... What is the correct syntax I need for this ??

Got it to work...Biggest issue seemed to be that in the select portion of the script I was selecting * and then just trying to show the statistic for LDAPClient Sessions. Once I changed the Select statement for just the client session stats I was good to go. The other issue was that the MS link suggested using WMI Win32_PerfFormattedData_NTDS on my systems at least, that did not work had to use RawData.

Glad to see you are done with this one . Feel free to upload your APM Template to the Content Exchange zone:
