Monitoring Microsoft DHCP servers is crucial for maintaining network reliability and performance. Here are some key areas SmartProfiler Health Checks focus on to monitor DHCP Servers: Lease Status, Server Performance, Uptime, Scope Utilization, inactive scopes, scopes overlapping and so on.
AD Health Monitoring in SmartProfiler Health Checks can help you check status of your Active Directory environment including checking DCDiag health for all domain controllers, server uptime, replication status, disk space, critical services status, event logs, and failed logons on domain controllers.
A security score can help you understand the overall security posture of technology. For example, you can know the current and initial score for Microsoft 365 and Azure Tenants for a single or multiple customers.
Test Template are available in SmartProfiler to help you perform assessment for a technology based on the tests available in the Test Template. For example, for M365 CIS Assessment, if you would like to perform CIS Profile Level 1 assessment for a M365 Tenant then you can only select CIS Profile Level 1 tests and then create a Test Template. When creating Assessment View, you need to select the modified Test Template so only CIS Profile Level 1 tests are executed. You can create unlimited Test Templates.
