Active Administrator for DNS Management
Proactively manage, monitor and alert on DNS server health. When DNS services fail, your users are unable to access corporate applications and sites. Thus, ensuring DNS availability is critical to the daily operations of your organization. Unfortunately, native tools lack the ability to monitor and alert on the availability, health and critical changes to DNS.
Active Administrator includes DNS management to help your organization ensure the availability of your DNS services. It allows you to create, edit and delete DNS records while providing alerts on critical DNS record changes or failures. It also provides search and reporting tools that allow you to view DNS event logs across your entire enterprise. Automated tests and analysis help you validate common Active Directory DNS records and troubleshoot DNS issues.
