I'm looking for a tool that provides a health dashboard for monitoring Active Directory. Ideally, it should include general information dashboards detailing users, service accounts, lockouts, and similar metrics. What are some tools you recommend or currently use?

We once used Netwrix through an on-prem Spiceworks setup, but I wanted to avoid paying for something costly. Instead, I created a PowerShell script that pulls data about sensitive, inactive, and other important accounts, sending out daily emails to our team. You could definitely adapt the data for a SQL database and create a nice SSRS dashboard for visualizations!
ManageEngine ADAudit is a solid choice for monitoring Active Directory. It's got a great interface and does a fantastic job tracking user activity and account status. I’ve been using it and can say it’s really reliable!
Totally agree! It's the best option out there, no contest.
I used this back in 2022, and it was a good product for sure.
That sounds interesting! Any chance you’d share your script?
