AD Client Monitoring RODC

Dashboard Server

Just installed the new Management Pack for ADDS version 10.0.2.1

We have issues with AD Client Monitoring in external zones where we have RODC. There are three monitors that shows unhealthy.

  • Domain Controller Health monitor - Error: Unable to bind to the rootDSE of any DC in the domain"
  • PDC LDAP Bind Availability Monitor - Error: Unable to bind to the rootDSE.
  • PDC Ping Availability Monitor - Error: Unable to bind to the rootDSE.
There is an override on the first monitor where you can specify to use use local site DC. That doesn't help.

Anyone else having RODC experiencing the same thing?

It turns out that it was our AD design that messed up things. We don’t allow Ping through to our prod zone from our external zones. And that is exactly what the three monitors are trying to do, pinging the PDC.

So, case closed.
