replmon and Windows 2000

D

Deb

We run a Windows 2000 AD with 4 DCs in Native Mode. I've been changed
with justifying the need for 4 DCs or removing one from the domain.
Before making my decision, I wanted to do some performance monitoring
on the domain to see if we need 4, or if 3 will do the trick.

I've used the NTDS counters from perfmon with some success, but wanted
to know if replmon provided additional information that would be
valuable in my determination.

I run the performance monitors from my administrative workstation,
which is XP SP-2. Can I run replmon from this workstation against our
Windows 2000 domain?

Deb-

replmon isn't going to have anything useful. You need to look at a few
things in my opinion:

CPU utilization on the DCs
Response Times
WAN Links
Applications utilizing AD (e.g. Exchange)
