SAM and Active Directory

If anyone is using SAM to monitor AD, can you tell me how useful the product is for this. Also, is this the only way to get Computer Names/User ID information in UDT?

Yep, you can.

Formatting for the usernames leaves much to be desired but it will show replications, explicit logins, failed login attempts and a few dozen more metrics. Works best when you have all of your DCs added to it.

Can't speak to access rights module but reporting on AD status will require a lot of template editing to get the data how you want it.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish with Appinisght for AD? There is also Access Rights Manager.

We have a license for SAM and have never used it. I thought I could monitor the AD environment with it.
