Power supply

Indicates that issues have been detected for the power supply on the domain controller.

Data collector
Category: General
Name: Power supply failed
Supported on: Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2022
Not supported on: Virtual computers
Required permissions: When monitored locally, only domain user privilege is required. When monitored remotely, the target server must have WMI remote access enabled and the user must be a member of the Distributed COM Users group.
Description

The Active Directory Health agent monitors the Power supply failed data collector on the domain controller. When the power supply of the selected domain controller has a status other than OK for a period of time equal to or longer than the configured threshold, this alert is raised.

Resolution

Review the device configuration and contact your hardware vendor if required.

Primary DNS resolver is not responding

Previous Next


Supported on: Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2022
Required permissions: When monitored locally and remotely, only domain user privilege is required. When monitored remotely, the target server must have WMI remote access enabled and the user must be a member of the Distributed COM Users group.
Description

The Directory Analyzer agent periodically checks each of its configured DNS resolvers to make sure that they are responding within an acceptable duration. If any configured resolver is unavailable or not responding within a preset duration threshold, this alert is generated.

The test for responsiveness is done by timing the lookup of critical DNS service records from each resolver.

Resolution

Check to make sure that the identified resolver is actually available and responsive.
