I was recently asked for a list of tools to evaluate the health of Active Directory. This is a is an introduction to a few of the tools that quickly came to mind. Many of these downloads were initially introduced by one of my Active Directory mentors. Justin is a content contributor for the “Ask DS” blog. He is also instrumental in the creation of "Replication" related TechNet virtual labs.
Thanks Justin!
